Monteriggioni

Here's another watercolor painting of the beautiful fortress of Monteriggioni. One of my favorite places to paint in Italy.

Aphrodite at the Met

I got to spend some time with my favorite sculpture at the Met, the Aphrodite. It's a Roman copy of a Greek original. It was done 1st-2nd century BCE. I met up with two great friends, who are both very talented artists as well, Min and Maria. We had an excellent day drawing, looking at and speaking about art.

The actual painting from Cedarmere

So I posted a photo of me painting in Cedarmere, but here is the actual piece. I must admit this was a difficult painting, the light was very strong only in one spot. I was basically under a huge tree so I was painting in the dark. I tried to paint with as much accuracy in color as possible, and in the end I think it was a successful painting. I'll try to go back and paint on the Cedarmere property again before the weather gets bad.

Doing some painting on William Cullen Bryant's property.

I went to paint with a few friends today, we decided to head east to the Nassau County Museum of Art. After painting the museum building we searched for another spot where we could paint. This is one of the nice little places, on what used to be the property of William Cullen Bryant, not far from the NCMA. It was getting dark, but I pushed through as fast as I could. Here is an "action" shot.
