I thought I'd bring readers up to date with what I'm doing - painting when I can paint.

This is a nude study I did today (I'm not really a portrait painter - or a figure painter and I don't know anatomy well - more of a colorist); I don't think of my work as anything other than an expression of me.  Having said that - I'm happy that there is a wonderful place like Brooklyn Artists Gym that makes it affordable for people like me to have a large studio space (~4000 square feet) to paint in.  It's shared space, but that is not a problem as far as I can see since hardly anyone is there.   My photo, taken with a 1.3 Megapixel cell phone camara and cut down to size by Picasa2 loses some of the subtle elements - but as an image - this is a good enough snapshot - I spent about 90 minutes on this painting which is, I think, 20 x 30, but I'm not sure of the exact size.

I did this window study in Oil Pastel a couple of weeks ago - maybe 3 weeks ago (or it could have been a month ago for all I know).  

And here's the Brooklyn Artist Gym studio space that I paint in ...when I get over there (maybe once or twice a week if I'm lucky).
