Your portraits are like old friends. It's nice to see them again, especially as I have painted many of the same models alongside you. I love your renditions! Quin Hey Quin :) I haven't posted new work in months, sorry for that. The paintings miss you and so do I. Hopefully I'll have painting sessions @ my place again, soon... Too many experiments scattered everywhere (like that's anything new). Hi Todd, just stopping by and see your latest. Your

Your work is truly wonderful...such grace and empathy. Do you still have the sketch you made of me eons ago?? Hey Joni, Nice to know you're out there. I appreciate the compliment, it goes a long way. As far as I know, I do still have your portrait BUT as a disclaimer.... I did a massive burning of about 500 drawings about 2 years ago.... But I am pretty sure your portrait came out well enough to have been spared. I'll have to do some excavation to find it. Fourth grade? Wasn't that yesterday? Hi, Todd!

Reds include Venetian Red and some exceptional true Carmine I picked up in Amsterdam @ Van Beek. To be honest, the reds do not come through well at all in the photos, they are MUCH more vibrant and transparent. The only thing I am doing differently is optical separation between layers. I need to update, things have progressed very well with the Greek Palette experiments. I am using pure pigments, reground and further levigated.

It's not just your palette choice, it's the colors themselves. Is my screen not representing these properly, or are you using some non-commercial reds in there? Back when I studied Nihonga in Japan, we would paint with raw mineral into animal glue (on mulberry paper) and some of these colors I see here feel much more alive, as those did - compared to what I see out of the tube now.

This is Ron from Hipbone. I have taken time to look at your drawings. Oh my! They are wonderful. I find the second one in the series very intriguing. It has a simple beauty about it. Keep up the good work. I am anxious to see the paintings when they are posted. Ron Severson Hello!
