To Toronto!

I am happy to report from Toronto, where I am taking a portrait painting workshop. I hope to hone my craft, and get to know this city of trams, CN towers and old trees. Here's a snapshot of my workshop 'home' at the Academy of Realist Art on the corner of Dundas West and Pacific Avenue:


In the meantime, here are few samples of the recent portraits I've completed.

    Anya! SO glad to hear that you are continuing to hone your craft...that's exciting. I love the one of Juliette. Her skin is glowing and the glint in the eyes makes you wonder what she's thinking. Enjoy your time away, Sister!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words! It really means a lot that you come to check out the blog!

    And Kevin "mudpile" workshop pal - I hope you've been working out, in preparation for opening lead white tubes all week long.

    See you soon!
