Something old, somethings new

Trey and I have been doing daily speed paint-offs of still lives. I'm into flowers, and he has gone along with it. Here are mine, Trey should post his soon on his blog so then you can check them out and decide who "won" each day.

All are 30 minutes - 1 hour.










In other news, we just took a great trip to the mountains, delivering Mark English's new solo show to his gallery in Telluride, Co. Everyone told us that Telluride is one of the most beautiful places on earth. They weren't kidding!



After that, a slight detour on the way back allowed us to spend the weekend with Matt Dahllun &
Megan Ingrahm in Boulder.

Going back a few weeks... our first weekend in Kansas City we went to theWest 18th St. Fasion Show (which was strange and super cool), where we met Emily and Kathryn. Emily assists in the Asian and American Departments at the Nelson Museum and Katheryn works with an Ad Agency. They came over this week and posed for us to paint. The poses were great, but the painting doesn't live up. Unfortunately, we did not take any pictures while they were here, but my favorite part of the painting ended up being the chair...

Finally, something old: some illustrations I did about 6 months ago for SRQ Lux magazine. The art director liked some of my digital speed paintings, like "Introducing Sarah" and wanted these products photos made into/incorporated in illustrations with paint texture and so on:





(I prefer the first version, but this is the one that they printed.)
