Reclining Christina

24x30 painting in progress of dancer Christina K. I did a similar painting earlier from this same photo shoot. This one is a different angle and shows more of the face. Nice arms and hands. I'll show a final later.

SC Bound

This painting has been accepted into the Artfields inaugaral show in Lake City, SC. The show and art festival runs April 19-28. See their site for information about all that's going on. http://www.artfieldssc.org/about/lake-city/ There will be a "People's Choice" award so please, if you're able, go see the show and vote for someone's work that you enjoy. This painting, of dancer Chelsea S, is a favorite of mine and I'm proud to have been accepted. Gotta get it ready for shipping!

Standing Dancer

Studio sketch of dancer Chelsea S. Conte and pastel...approx 22x11 on a toned paper. Nice standing pose. $225.

Back to Cumberland Island

From earlier reference shot on Cumberland Island, GA. It was evening and the colors were becoming subdued in the lower light. I had a good time with the change in values. Note how dark the "white" sand is. Calling this one "Evening's Palette". 16x20. May be for sale later.

Rusty Roof

"Rusty Roof" is a recent painting from some earlier reference I shot in Haralson, GA. Over the years, I've done several paintings from this area of Coweta County and have others planned. It's also a great place for sausage. This is a 16x20 on panel. $950.

Reclining Model

Reclining pose from tonight's life class. Approx 25 minutes. Dancer Laura H posed. Conte...drawn fairly large...approx 22"x8". $225.

Old Tin Gin

If you've ever driven through Sargent, GA, you've seen their most prominent landmark, the Old Tin Gin. When I moved to Coweta County it was a "junk store" of high order..great old stuff, packed full. I don't know the full history of it's use but I'm sure, during it's day, it was the center of activity in this small West Georgia town. As always, the original is a "must see" if you're interested in it. $485 11x14 oil on panel.
