Two Paintings Completed
by cooper on 5/30/2008 7:38:02 PM



Greetings!

I have two signed paintings to show you today!  The first has been charted here on the project blog in previous entries.  The second is from the studio group I paint with at the Pearson Lakes Art Center.

   Park Bench Confidantes is an acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped canvas.  It measures a lovely 20 x 30 inches.  I worked from a combination of photos and a mirror, and no, I don't look like either one of these people :)  I find that photos often lie about people, and when you are painting at odd hours of the night with no models available, often a mirror can give you the info that a photo neglects to provide.  At any rate, don't you wonder what they are talking about?  Probably life in general!

   Never A Backward Glance is also an acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped canvas.  It's a bit smaller, 16 x 20 inches.  This painting is done from a live model at one of our studio painting sessions at the Pearson Lakes Art Center.  Our studio group meets for two hours, the first hour is devoted to short poses, with one long pose the second hour.  I think once I managed to get an entire painting done in the session, but normally it comes back to my studio, leans on the wall for a while, until I determine what it needs to be complete.

I have two other pieces leaning on the wall now, that are demanding my attention.  If all goes well, you'll see them soon!

Later, Cooper
