Coloring a Castle

fullsizeoutput_b4f.jpeg

This painting is of St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church in Baltimore. I've wanted to paint this church since moving here. I finally got the chance to paint it from Patterson Park! Which is a lovely park in Baltimore if you are in the area. While I was working on this painting some children walking by told me they liked my "coloring of a castle" which I thought was really cute way of describing plein air painting.

This painting is 8x10 inches. Oil on canvas. It was framed at the Unicorn Studio and Frame and is currently available at Kaya Furniture and Design here in Baltimore, Maryland.

Copy of Louis Marie Henri Raoul Prat

I started this copy a long time ago and had to put it on hold. It's rather large, and I didn't have the space to work on it again until recently. The artist is Louis Marie Henri Raoul Prat. His figure drawing, "Figure Designee D'apres Nature" is located at Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, I requested a high-resolution image through Art Resource for this project. The drawing is 25" x 18" charcoal and white chalk on roma paper.

Here is my copy next to a print of Prat's drawing.

I recently got this drawing framed at the Unicorn Studio and Frame. Thanks Pat, drawings always look better in a frame!

Shortly after moving to Baltimore, I had the pleasure of meeting Shlomi. He makes custom furniture which can be seen at his furniture store, Kaya Furniture Design, here in Fells Point. His impressive furniture is what drew me into his shop intially, from the moment I met him he and his wife Jill have welcomed me to Baltimore. I am honored to have my paintings displayed among his beautiful furniture. This drawing is of his youngest daugher Shoshi, who is a promising young artist, with her Grandmother.
