I spent the last four days in Williamsburg, VA attending the Figurative Art Convention and Expo (@realism.today). The BEST part of the conference was that four of my six teachers from my students days at @grandcentralatelier were at the conference. Three of whom I don’t get to see too often these days. . I learned nearly everything I know about painting from @edwardminoff @tonycuranaj @joshualarock and @scottwaddellartist. After hearing their presentations and watching their painting demonstrations this week, I couldn’t get over how exceedingly lucky I was to have the education I did in my four years at GCA. In fact, I kept leaning over to my mom during the talks and saying “can you believe how lucky I am?! These were my teachers!!” . The depth of knowledge and understanding by Tony, Ted, Josh, and Scott is immense. But what you might not know is that they are all wonderful, kind, and generous human beings. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard than catching up with these guys at the conference. . I just wanted to throw a little gratitude their way this AM. I didn’t know anything about the community of artists surrounding GCA when I enrolled. But I count it as the greatest blessing of my life to still be involved with the school and it’s community. . I also wanted to give a shout out to two other very important people I got to see at FACE this week: @rosemarybrushes and @mhoilpaints! . I am not sponsored by either of these wonderful companies, they just make some of the best brushes and paint money can buy. I will not disclose how big a dent I put in my bank account buying new materials… but I assure you I can’t WAIT to get back to the easel with my brand new brushes and pigments. . The Queen Anne’s Lace flower above was painted using Michael Harding paint and Rosemary brushes. That crazy texture in the flower was achieved by using Michael Harding stack lead white. This flower was painted in a one day painting session, with no medium, just gamsol. You can see what incredible texture and depth well made paint can give you. I used Rosemary series 33 round (usually size 6) to paint most of this QAL. . Thanks for all the fun, I love you guys ❤️❤️

  1. Each issue of Realism today brings so much information to my inbox, and the name itself says how I’ve been working for so long. Thanks for this list of Instagram artists that I can add to my newfeed; about half were already there, so am looking forward to seeing work of the additions.
