Recently, I have been painting with 5 other artists in Stowe, VT. We meet at Dee Macy,s studio which is large enough to accomodate all of the easels, painting supplies and a model. The model takes a pose, which is repeated for 3 hours. In that time, we all paint like crazy. This is the result of one of those sessions. It is an alla prima oil of my daughter's Mother-in-Law, Nancy. This is one way to solve the expense of hiring a model. All of the artists pitch in to pay the modeling fee. This would have been one that I would have loved to work on just a little longer. Perhaps, we can get the model to pose again, but it was a fun study, at any rate.

Karen! I know Dee Macy too! Such a small world!
Hey Diana...Yes, Dee studied at the RAI, too. She is great, and it is so kind of her to share her studio space. We all meet once a week. Hopefully, we will be able to extend the time to 4 hours, which would make me really happy. I love painting alla prima! :)) I would have loved painting the Revolutionary War costume that you did at RAI. You will just have to come up to the Stowe group!
Hi Karen,
Alla prima painting rocks! :) I love this picture you did! The light effect is lovely! Please post more of your work. Cheers!
