I recently came across this wonderful Dorothy Draper quote, “I always put in one controversial item...it makes people talk”. In English designer Rita Konig’s case, she has Sidney, her Hartebeest head peering down at less controversial items. There is a framed poster that says “Love” (no argument there); and a poster that admonishes us to “Drink More Gin” (well regular dosing DID keep the Queen Mum alive to age 101!)...but ‘Sidney’, he raises some issues. Still and all, I love the notion. I personally believe in ‘peace’ globally, nationally, and civically, but around my dining room table I sometimes like to throw a teeny tiny ‘explosive’ just to get the convo started. (My children can be heard groaning, “She HAD to go there???) Soooo you can just imagine my delight when I came across Dorothy Draper’s decorating genius! (P.S. I took the liberty of making Rita Konig’s walls ‘grey poupon’ rather than pale pink). #interiordesign #dorothydraper #ritakonig #english #hartebeest #controversy #love #drinkmoregin #queenmum #peace #windsornewtonpaint #utrectpaint #gamblinpaint #mgrahampaint #dailypaintworks #pamelachoffmeister

I’ll start by asking you not to judge too much on how many tubes of similar colours I have!!! I bet you have as many or more! 😂 I have accumulated them over the years and a couple of years ago, I set out to see what I REALLY had in my paint drawers. It was an eye opening exercise to do these colour charts and discover that tubes of paint with the SAME NAME had VERY different paint quality, especially when tinted down to lighter values. So today, I am on a mission before getting painting to redo my “browns” colour chart and figure out which of all these tubes is the closest to Rembrandt Transparent Oxide Brown which I love. Will keep you posted! Have you ever done this?? What did you find?If you haven’t, I highly suggest you do! Voy a comenzar por pedirles que no me juzguen demasiado por la cantidad de tubos de pintura de colores similares que tengo! Seguro que ustedes tienen tantos o más! 😂 Los he acumulado al pasar en tiempo y hace un par de años, quise ver qué era lo que realmente tenía en mi cajón de pinturas. El hacer estas cartas de colores fue un ejercicio excelente para descubrir que muchas veces las pinturas tienen el MISMO NOMBRE pero la calidad del color es completamente DIFERENTE, especialmente cuando se le agrega blanco y se llega a valores más claros. Así que hoy, antes de comenzar a pintar me he propuesto a rehacer mi carta de colores marrones y tratar de ver cuál de todos estos tubos es el más cercano al Marrón Oxido Transparente de Rembrandt que me encanta. Les voy a contar después que descubro! Han hecho cartas de colores? Que encontraron? Si no lo han hecho, se los super recomiendo!

UPDATE! Answers in my story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️#colorquiz! Name the primaries I used to create this color wheel.

Been revamping and updating my watercolor palettes; it’s almost like going shopping but I don’t leave the house! . I honestly venture out in public wearing the exact same outfits I lounge around the house in. Depression makes it so I absolutely do not care about any consequences or judgments…but not in a positive way. Allie Brosh explained it perfectly when she wrote “a protective exoskeleton of indifference”. . It’s getting a lot better, but this shell is hard to wear away. So for now it’s gonna be messy hair, no bra, and maybe I’m wearing deodorant. . . .

I couldn’t try gouache without trying out my stroke economy still-life exercise. Which lemon is your favorite? Read on to see more of my gouache takeaways. Lemons in gouache 4x | 11x11 | painting no. 314-317/1000 | Available! When I do this exercise with oil, I have a desire to get the paint down quickly without thinking too much about it. I rely a lot on the paint staying wet, blending adjacent brush strokes, and applying wet on top of wet. It feels a lot different in gouache, though, and I had to adjust my approach. “Wet into wet” doesn’t quite work the same — it either has to be very freshly wet or it has to be fully dry in order for brush strokes to work well (for me anyway). A partially dry mark feels the same to me as partially dry oil paint: tacky! I found that I had more success when I took it slow and let more drying time happen between layers. It helped me better respond to the resulting values once the gouache dried and helped me make clean, fresh and smooth marks. Of course I still had some wet into wet opportunities but I had to make sure that I did those immediately. Another thing I paid close attention to is water to paint ratio. There’s a fine line between too much water and not enough. The only way to figure out what’s right is to get it wrong a bunch of times. If it’s too wet, especially after the first layer, all the paint pools and mixes in a way that I don’t really like. If there’s not enough water, the brush gets stuck and you can’t seem to get the paint on. And then there is a perfect in-between that feels quite nice. I hope this all makes sense and is useful to anyone wanting to try out gouache!

I never shared the finished Unicorn Balloon. Oil on canvas 42x32". You can see timelapse footage of the painting in my reels.

A year ago today, I started this oil painting called "Wash Your Hands" that holds even more meaning now. At the time we were told to wash hands a lot and we were already doing it because we were potty training a 2 year old. So we spent much time in front of the sink pictured here. I started to notice beautiful subtle warm and cool light dancing around the sink and fixture. It was the first painting of interiors I would continue to paint throughout 2020. And it was the first painting in some time that gained international interest, because of its relevance and painterly realism. I'm grateful for all the positive feedback. And now that vaccines are rolling out, I'm hopeful for the future. Now we just have to get past the inauguration and stay home to stop the spread. Much love to everyone.

louis_dibiccari of creategalleryandcocktail commissioned this painting of easternstandard for the owners who closed the restarant this past year. Here is why it meant so much to so many: "Eastern Standard was where our generation of restaurant people went to gather. It was capable of balancing a Red Sox bar crowd with special occasions happening in the dining room. It's where we went for birthdays, anniversaries, going away parties, etc. They were the first real nationally recognized cocktail bar in Boston. It birthed some of the best managers, chefs & bartenders in the city." Needless to say it will be missed. My wife thinks this painting will be famous one day.

Right I’m not trying any more lego in limited time a few inches across, it’s a nightmare 🙂 also running out of ultramarine blue so conserving by using Payne’s gray for this. . . . #gouacheillustration #gouache #gouachepainting #gouachesketch #gouacheart #dailypainting #study #painting #painting🎨 #paintingoftheday #paintingoftheday🎨 #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #watermedia #paintingfromlife #paintingfromobservation #sketchcollector #sketchbook #sketchbookart #sketchbookpainting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #gejart #mgraham #winsorandnewton #winsorandnewtongouache

Swipe to see progress shots of this painting I've been working on. I finally finished it after 2 months of poking around on it. You can see my daughter posing while the neighborhood boys are goofing off all around her. It was special to work on this during such a hard time. I'll be making prints of this for my neighborhood folks soon. I'll be takimg commissions for the holidays starting in Sept. Island Grove Gang, acrylic on 36x48" canvas, 2021
