Here is my effort from Saturday's painting session. I wiped out my first attempt at the whole figure and concentrated on her head instead.

Being an artist is hardwork. Being an artist married to an artist takes more hard work. BUT, being an artist married to an artist, and being a mother and grandmother, takes the most hard work. It takes BRUSHWORK...with the emphasis on work! This blog takes a look at my life as an artist, my studio, my classes, as well as offers tips and encouragement to all (especially to moms) who dare to live by the brush! Paint a good one!
About Me
- Karen Winslow
- Since 1973, I have been painting side by side with my husband, Jack, when we both began studying oil painting with Frank Mason at the Art Students League in NY. In 1979, we started the Winslow Art Studio in Cambridge, VT, and since that time, we have been selling our paintings and raising our 5 children. Our children grew up in and around art and the studio, and now our 7 grandchildren are being introduced to painting. I hope you enjoy my blog. You can see more of my work and my husband's on our website: www.WinslowArtStudio.com

HI Karen:
What an absolutely stunning painting! A beautiful job.
I host a figure painting group on the third Thursday of each month - but not many people come (usually 2-5). Where do you find your models?
Hi Mary. Thanks! I met this young woman at my daughter's going away party, and I asked her if she would pose. It turns out that she was an art major, so it was perfect! Some of the other models are from various "Open" drawing groups that I have attended or friends. My kids' friends are another great source for interesting models.
I am glad to hear that you host a painting group, too. Isn't it fun to paint with other artists?
Oh yes! It is almost like you feed off of each others energy - it really seems to infuse your own work with new life - and the comraderie is wonderful. But I do like to paint all alone too - much more contemplative. When you are all alone, you can touch such deep cords within.
Now let's go paint!
I am so loving how mysteriously lovely this piece is, love the light, love the palette. Nice, very nice.
Thank you!
