Its hard to back into the swing of things after you spend 5 great days painting and talking art at the Box R Ranch in Ashland Ore. These are 2 portraits that I did the second day after bombing with 2 other painting attempts the first day. I will post more soon ....
Update .... The teachers for next years conference will be Thomas Blackshear and Frank Ordaz ( me ) .

The paintings are always lovely, Frank, but the backgrounds are often so UNIQUE... love them!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Marian ... This conference really inspired me to make the backgrounds an important element in the total presentation of the painting ...
ReplyDeletelove that second one especially.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, about half the time I post a comment, it does not go through.
Thanks for the alert, Frank! I thought that I was the only one that could not leave comments - my paranoia started to kick in (did I say something wrong? why doesn't he like me? Did I offend him in some way? etc.) LOL!
ReplyDeleteSounds great!
ReplyDeleteI love the way Mel's turned out--that is so her. Quiet, but full of thoughts that no one would suspect!
ReplyDeleteKierra informed me that you made faces at her while she was trying to model...You are forever uniquely, quirkishly, energetically Frank (and I look forward to your teaching next year).
Great paintings Frank, I am really looking forward to the conference next year.
ReplyDeleteLooking points are great, having good sound..!!

Thomas Blackshear
