Richeson 75: Small Works 2011 Finalist

"Repose"
Original Oil 6x6"

You might remember this painting from a recent post. It's a demo from a Vancouver workshop I taught this October. The exercise was to apply paint as thickly as possible right from the first stroke and it was really fun to paint.

I'm pleased to announce it was just juried as a finalist in the Richeson 75: Small Works Competition, and will be hanging in a show at the Richeson School of Art (Kimberly,WI) from Feb.7th to March 25th, 2011.

More news: I have cooked up my newest painting challenge, and will be jumping in this week. Watch for the first painting of the project next post...

  16. Congratulations, Liz. It's a fabulous painting and a wonderful exercise. I just went back and re-read the original post. Though I had left a comment, I didn't remember this was an exercise from one of your workshops (bravo). However, just looking at the painting told me what you were doing and that, in itself was so instructive and helpful. Your admonition in the original post to try it was RIGHT ON, for the very reasons you mentioned.

    Take care,
    Stephen
