Visit The Sistine Chappel

A very dear friend sent me a site you can go to where you can view the Sistine Chappel close up with your computer.  Just let your mouse do the work.  It is beutiful!  Having just finished working on 3 pieces of Michelangelo's works I was quite anxious to see the real thing.  Take a look.   Go to: http:www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/sistina_vr/index.html.

Finished a Manet

It took a while but I finally finished this reproduction of a Manet.  It's been sitting around for a while and since I had my paints out for the Art Festival I thought why not finish it.  So now since I have a one man show at Steven's Tax Service for two Months followed by a one man show at Cayo Costa Dental for two more months I'll put it in.  Why not?  Actually, I've become very inspired and I'm going to do some more paintings.  I just bought a large wrap around canvas and I am going up to Michaels to buy another one  Friday because they are 40% off this week Yea!   We sold our boat so I can splurge a little !!!

Zack is finished

Well, I finally finished Zacharia.  What a chore.  We will (all the artists that participated) be taking all our paintings over to the VAC on Wed. nite.  There should be about 46 pieces of Artwork.  We will have a Wine & Cheese get together and have our pictures taken with our Art for the program.  It gives us a chance to see the other Artist's work before the Grand opening on Oct. 16th when they will all be unvieled for the public and up for bids!

Zacharia Almost Finished

Here is a snap of "Zack" almost completed.  Wow, will I be glad when he is done.  He has been a thorn in my side!!

"Zack"

Well, here he is:WIP "Zack"

Finished David?

I'm posting my picture of David-- He is almost completed-- a few minor adjustments and then a signature.  Then it's on to the big one!!

Work In Progress (David)

Well, I'm still working on "David".  He is a lot harder to do than I imagined!!  But at least I am making progress and he is looking better-- but it is very frustrating to say the least.  I had to bring my 3'x5' home because the VAC is closed for repairs for 2 wks.  I hope to finish him in a couple days then I can work on the prophet Zacharia.  I've already blocked that one in w/the house paint so I can take my time on that painting.  I'll keep working - it is too hot to work outside so I might as well paint!!!
