Early days of new work in the works! This is the exciting part. I posted the study for a new commission of three cousins a while back. Now I’m breaking into detail on the 24 x 30” canvas and it’s lighting me up to finally meet these little portraits. Though the fabric is on this red jumper is a blast too. 🎈💃🏼More soon! ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ #wip #portraitpainting #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #cousins #familyportraits #childrensportraits #childportraits #cutekids #details #portrait #realistpainting #oiloncanvrealistartas #figurativeartist #figurepainting #painteveryday #figurativeart #pintura #instaart #classicalrealism #fleshtones #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #portraitartist #realistart #paintanyway #seattleart #portraitcommission
Sold out of “Lemon Branches” prints for now. Message me for details or to be added to the list for a future run. 💌 🍋 When I made the Roseate Spoonbill prints in May I received a lot of requests for Lemons. I said I’d make them in the fall and by the view from my windows it’s never been more fall! I ordered a limited run of 24 x 12” fine art giclée prints with a 1” signed border from the same folks who did a gorgeous job on the Spoonbill. Update: Even though I’m sold out of this run, I’ll certainly make another soon. Let me know if I can set one aside for you.🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 🍋 #stilllifepainting #vanitas #oilpainting #classicalart #traditionalart #realistpainting #naturalism #flowerpainting #floralpainting #naturepainting #natureart #yellow #aristidesatelier #seattle #seattleartist #seattleart #traditionalpainting #artcollector #paintingsforsale #artprints #artprintsforsale #naturamorta #lemons #lemon #lemonade #paintingwithatwist #paintingfromlife #painting #fineart #🍋
I’m trying to get quick morning sketches in at live model sessions while working on bigger projects. Love leaving with a done ✅ sketch and going back into the studio to face the beast 👹— a large multi figure portrait. What do you do to keep up momentum and stay sharp during larger projects? • • • • • #portrait #portraitdrawing #portraitsketch #drawingfromlife #lifedrawing #charcoalportrait #charcoaldrawing #nitramcharcoal #productivity #lifehacks #creativeprocess #artlife

"Portrait of Ignatius Sancho after Allan Ramsay" 20 x 26 inches. Finally varnished and ready for delivery to @capitolcider. Sancho (1729-1780), a man of the arts, was a composer, writer and actor. Known politically as a greatly influential abolitionist and one of the first of African heritage to vote in a British election. After I posted the study last week @anfeargorm4 told me check out the on @chinekeorchestra YouTube. Please listen to his minuets, they’re wonderful! • #ignatiussancho #classicalcomposer #portraitgallery #chinekeorchestra #mastercopy #allanramsay #portrait #exetermuseum #ramm #blackhistory #portraitpainting #abolishionist #ramm #historicalfigure #history #historicalportrait #historicalpainting #artist #hero #oilpainting #composer #artcollector #capitolcider #fineart #fineartportrait #britishhistory
