Here is a detail of the newest painting I’ve been working on.  I didn’t have time to blog about it much because the gallery hoped to have it hanging over the holidays so I was concentrating on getting it ready for them.  Now I will put up an image of the final presentation.

This is a portrait of my great nephew and his grandfather.  The family has not seen it yet. They might view it here but if not, it will be a surprise for them to see on the new year.  It will help to round out my portfolio because I am expecting to do my first one person show soon.

I will begin a portrait class after the first of the year.  I am accepting only four students.  There may still be room for one more.  Contact me if you are interested.  There is going to be a get acquainted meeting on Dec. 16 at my house beginning at 12:15.  I’m looking forward to this since my last class was a delightful experience.

I am also hoping to complete at least two or perhaps three paintings that I have planned before the timing for the show. Two of them will be typical projects for me but very complicated compositions.  The third is a landscape.  I have been experimenting with this recently and would like to create some really nice compositions that I have in mind, if I can do them successfully.

That is all for now.  I hope Bruce and I will stay well and that I will have a good painting time this winter, absent any unexpected delays.  I am itching to get started on the new project.  Hugs, Diana
