Hope all is well.  You have not heard from me this month, not because I have not been busy painting.  "Au contraire", I have been busy working on a two commissions.  The first one is completed, but the client is not picking it up until Mid August.   The second one are the parents of my client, still in the works.  I also have another commission that is due by the end of the year of a portrait of head/shoulder of the subject as well as another portrait of the same subject from a photo taken at a bicycle race.  Both of these will be larger, at least 20x24".

I always get so excited at the prospect of beginning new paintings.

I am also working on two portraits that I began while a zoom live model session (3 hours) that I will finish with a photo.  Love these Zoom sessions and thank fellow artist J.Russell Wells for organizing these model sessions in his studio.

Being sequestered due to Covid-19 has been almost a blessing for us artist, at least for me.   I am able to access so much on line such as on-line workshops, Portrait Society's convention (5 days) in late August via Zoom that includes Master Artists' lecture, demos, and live painting and even cocktail hour.   

Although not new, I attached a photo of Sunflower a small painting done a couple of years ago and available for sale.   I used the image and had four masks done...I call them my "vanity" masks. LOL

Hope all is well with everyone.  Stay safe.

Best regards
