Jazz for Peace Event - Live Painting!

Today I painted live at a Jazz for Peace event. It was held at the New York Historical society

The concept is that during the course of the concert I paint the music, the show, the vibe.
The concert lasted an hour, so luckily I like to work fast! ;) I started out with a blank canvas of 24 x 20' using acrylics. After about an hour this was the result!
Here are a few pictures of the painting and the process of it.

Visit Jazz for Peace for more of their events.

Also: a picture of the proud new owners up top!

IF Legendary

This little painting has been called "The singer" and "Spotlight", for this week's entry on IF I think "Legendary" works well.

She looks like a diva, an opera singer maybe or a jazz or blues singer from a long time ago.

An untitled painting

I don't have a title for this work yet. It's brand new and I am happy with the way it came out.

I love interesting titles for paintings -as well as the plain, simple ones like 'Mother with baby' the titles I end up giving most of my jpegs in their folders for easy recognition.

Anyone have a suggestion?? They're welcome!

More new Necklaces!

I am so loving making these!!! I took inspiration from my painting "Three"
which is of three people, a couple and child embedded [or on top of] a landscape of hills.

IF Instinct

For Illustration Friday's entry "Instinct" this week, I'm submitting this painting called "Bridges"

It is an older piece [2006] and it will be part of my exhibit next week.

"They moved on instinct, trusting each other.."

IF Similar

Even though they were far away, they had similar thoughts at the same time.

Weekly auction- aquarelle

Go HERE to see the painting and bid.

Listening to Heather Nova right now on this online radio site.
I think i have listened to her songs , well, so many times over
the years, i can't even estimate a number.
I absolutely LOVE being able to listen to a cd or
a certain singer so often, so thoroughly and never get tired of it.
How wonderful!
