Self-Portrait II 15" x 12" Acrylic on Masonite, 2008
On top of still-lifes, we’ve done at least 7 portraits since painting began, all exercises in acrylic. I shouldn’t even be posting right now, I should be studying for a mid-term exam…I have a million things to do, can’t seem to focus on anything!
Autumn Still-Lifes
Autumn Still Life II 12.5" x 12.5" Oil on Paper, 2008
- Autumn Still Life 1 12.5″ x 12.5″ Oil on Canvas, 2008
We’ve done at least twenty still-lifes in oil and acrylic since painting began. I’ve filled an entire locker with paintings since we started, sometimes we do ten paintings in a single class. This one I did from home, I’m not used to using the school studios yet. The only trouble is transporting it to class..
I’m loving what wordpress can do for images! If you click on this picture, it will enlarge it, and then you can magnify and really get the most out of the brushwork. At last!

What the ????????
What in the dickens?? Get a load of this.
Someone doesn’t like my blog. Or, shall I say, someone doesn’t understand the HUGE and important difference between nudity and a nude. Or, nudity and art? I am so upset right now. For regular readers of this blog, you may have already noticed the flag that comes up when you try and visit: my blog supposedly contains objectional content. It must have been the most recent post. Heaven forbid someone sees a nipple. Nevermind the fact that it is a PAINTING. Or perhaps it was the post about cat turd? I had no idea it was this simple to offend someone.
This bothers me a great deal. My blog is a source of income for me: paintings are posted for sale here, it’s my ONLY source of income, and when a new visitor, unfamiliar to the blog is introduced by a nasty sign that says the content is “objectional”, wouldn’t you say that’s a turnoff? A vague flag like that scares readers away, it more or less gives the reader an impression that they might run into porno and obscenity. Even more infuriating is the total, utter ignorance it takes for someone to be unable to distinguish nudity and art. ARG! This is the blog of a landscape and portrait painter!!! Please forgive the rant. Help: I’ve just spent twenty minutes cruising google and blogger without finding a single contact who can help me sort this out and remove the flag. Advice would be very appreciated, I find this so unjust.

My very pregnant friend. She was an excellent model, posing for 4 straight hours with only minor breaks, usually to pee…

Rufus the Terrible
Disclaimer: we LOVE this cat. He’s the cutest orange thing ever, and has a mischievous streak…
This, is Rufus. We’ve been cat-sitting him for our landlords for the past week. Having taken care of him before, we should have known what to expect this time around during his stay, but once again I was shocked by what a terror he can be. (And terribly adorable, too) The last time he was here, Rufus, for whatever reason, found it fit to climb up on top of Olivers desk and throw up. Right next to his computer. Later during the week, he peed, in the middle of the kitchen floor, then pooped right next to the pee. He knows how to use his litter box. I think he made a conscious decision to poop and pee where he did. I don’t think he likes me.
During the same week, he climbed out the second-story bedroom window and ate the rosemary Oliver was growing in the boxes. He trotted into the studio, I picked him up, and the scent of fresh rosemary was wafting off of him like steam. He also ate our market sausages, I forget how he got them.
So this time around, he’s been sleeping on the shoes and hand bags in the hall closet. I was rooting around on the upper shelf the other day, and, standing on tiptoe, squished my feet into something that might’ve been turd or barf. I still don’t know which it was, but it was cold, wet, and looked like a hot-dog shaped piece of rope, woven of cat hair and coated thickly in slime.
This is a charcoal drawing I did of Rufus for his owners, they’ve been asking for one for a while now. If they’re reading, don’t worry, we love Rufus!! He will always be welcome, wherever we are… he’s given us so many funny stories.
