A Day in the Life of an Artist

My pastel, " Flower Market" , was accepted into the 119th Annual Juried Exhibition,  the Woman's Art Club of Cincinnati.

In 1892, the Womans Art Club held its first opened its first exhibit. Judged  by Francine Reiley and Lawrence Rudolech, there were over 300 entries from area women artists and only 75 pieces of art  were included in the exhibit. 

The figurative painting and drawing class I am now currently teaching at the Barn in Mariemont, the Womans Art Club,

is working with the planes of the head, along a live model, to help the students achieve better and more accurate proportions.

Here are a few drawings from Andrew Loomis who had broken the head and face down in to common measurements.
