the needle in the haystack


CAI, California Art Institute is closing,  I have modeled there and been allowed to use their facility for awhile.  This place has been very rich in it's educational history molding artists for a decades.  It's a shame such a business is closing.

Above also is the painting i've been working on most of the week. It's on the easel.  

I had two wonderful plein air days. Below is one quick study.
