The merry month of May is just a memory. A memory of oil painting classes, some of which I paid for and was a full time student, others I was a monitor, attending to details. Putting out food to keep the artists happy; setting up the room for still-life painting; cleaning up; taking down; timing the models. So many details to make everything run smoothly.
During my free time?, I tried to paint a still life. Ha, maybe it will be finished from the photos I took, maybe not.
The full time class I took was from an artist called Qiang Huang www.qiang-huang.blogspot.com. "Chong Wong" is a Chinese artist from Austin Texas. He has painted with many of the current great artists, like Richard Schmidt, David Leffel, etc. His work is wonderful and now I own two pieces of his art. The painting below is his second demo during the workshop. I also bid on a small piece from the daily painters auction; Orchid study 2. I can't call it up and paste it here yet, so you will have to visit http://www.dailypaintworks.com/allartists/#/artist=huang, qiang&mode=search
All of this art and monitoring was sponsored by Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio http://www.fallcityfineart.org/. We met and painted in one of the Fairgrounds buildings. Parking was a real challenge because of all the semi-tame bunnies that have escaped from the fair and multiplied over the years. They even have a special bunny graveyard!
I hope to get to finish some of the paintings I started last month. Stay posted! Meanwhile, the garden needs attention. The sketchers are coming to sketch here on the 21st, so I need to make it pretty.
