Greetings All,

I hope all is well. Check out my YouTube review of the book " Cecilia Beaux, American Figure Painter" .

I went painting with my bud Silvio yesterday and we painted trucks in Newcastle and ended the day at our favorite watering hole...the Auburn Ale House.

Also, next week I will be demo'ing a portrait submitted by Jeremy Elder, a commenter and follower of this blog from its inception. I will paint his portrait and analyze the steps for those of you who are interested in understanding the structure and planes of the head. Since we will be using a photo, I will show what to look for and what to avoid in using a photo. Its always best to learn from life...but then again all conditions are not perfect...so off we go!
