About the author: The subject matter that I am interested in is representational. I strive to be thorough and accurate and yet catch what is fleeting and lively. The work I'm most proud of shows life as I see it: fatally flawed, but amazingly beautiful. See Sarah's listing at the Southern Oregon Artists Resource to learn more and make contact.
I took another workshop with Michael Grimaldi at BACAA this month. As usual, the experience was extremely enlightening in pretty much every artistic way.

I have wanted to paint another portrait of Adara for years – ever since painting this first version when she was about 10 years old. You may notice a serious expression on her face. This is due to her EXTREME displeasure at having to sit still for 20 minutes at a time. After this first […]

I participated in my first Plein Air Painting Competition last weekend in Roseburg, Oregon for the Umpqua Valley Arts Association’s Location, Location, Location Paint Out. I was surprised to find myself very, very nervous while painting. I did not bring my camera – ? – what’s wrong with me? – so I have no photos […]

Not much to say about this piece – I really hated it when I was painting, but with a little time and distance, it’s grown on me.

Today I continue to work on this sign painting commission project. It’s pretty fun. It will ultimately be installed on a restaurant fence to cheerfully greet people as they come in for their mountain man breakfasts. I’m using unfamiliar materials – an outdoor piece requires some extra care – and in this case the extra […]

I just got a new batch of art models for the summer- and I hired them off of Craigslist. People raise eyebrows when they hear this. For the most part, it’s perfect. I’ve found some excellent new models this way. Will, from last week’s post was a Craigslist find. He’s a member of a local […]

On the Wednesday evening long poses I usually like to paint on panels sized about 12 x 16 ish. I’m kind of a creature of habit, but I’m also busy and temporarily out of titanium (needed to make the gesso I use to prepare panels) so at the last minute I had to grab whatever […]

If you want to go to an evening Life Drawing Session in Ashland, Oregon you have two choices: My group at Second Floor Studios or Steve LaRose’s group at Tease. The spring weather fronts seem to have been blowing in a desire to switch things up and try sketching with ink wash, because in the […]
