On Friday of last week I did indeed finish the exciting new study of eleven royal gala apples.
The weekend in SoNo was fun and productive, and I’m already back at work mixing colors for yet another study of the same gala apples. I’m working on a new size ratio I haven’t used in many years, 40 inches by 72 inches. At one time it felt oddly stretched, but now it feels like the normal 16:9 ratio of a wide movie screen.
In other news, I’m kicking around the idea of hosting a series of painting workshops here at my studio. Over the years many people have asked me if I’d consider teaching classes, and I would definitely have a good bit to offer by sharing my understanding of color theory and composition and self-critique. If anyone out there is interested, feel free to put your name on my workshop mailing list and I’ll keep you updated on what I’ll be offering.
