The Student

Many thanks to my friend (and published poet!) Susan Sonde for inviting me to sit in on her art lesson with resident artist David Zuccarini at the Howard County Center For The Arts (Elicott City) last night and for his permission to occupy an empty space and take a shot at a quick study from life of Susan at work. 

Susan has a distinctive style of painting #portraits using shades of blue and grey with beige and occasionally shades of brown or purple, and so I tried to imitate her style a little here. My blues are a little too bright and the faces are incomplete, but I’m happy with it for a 2h #speedpainting (although  she disputes the size of her nose lol). What a great space and teaching opportunity for Howard County. They also have 2 exhibitions going on in the space right now. 



Speaking of exhibitions, I have a piece in Maryland Federation of Art’s  Spring Member Show right now at Circle Gallery in Annapolis. See Https://mdfedart.org for reception times and virtual gallery
