"Singled Out" - SOLD & a painting of me - SOLD

I call this singled out because there is just one of each thing. huh, huh?
The other day I got a delightful email from a recent kid of mine. She had taken some photos of me in class and when she got home she painted one. Her name is Christine Holzschuh, and here is me: (it's called "First Stroke")

sooo funny....Your posting, and Claudia Hammers came this morning (I only get you two) and they were next to each other in the inbox. Funny-- BOTH of them were entitled, "singled out", and whats more, I painted one a couple of days ago, and yesterday put it in my file, called,"singled out", too.
I love the painting of you... I watched James Coulter's video yesterday with this same plein air painting easel, too.....

There you go with your fabulous oranges! I 'know' Christine as a blogger friend, and she's awesome! How nice that she painted this! What a cool idea! I think someone from EVERY workshop should paint you!

This is a gem. The compositional massing is so strong. Is this stuff becoming intuitive for you? The blues are beautiful, really set off by that little orange quarter. Who knew a white plate could be so brilliantly
beautiful? Rock on!

Terrific painting! The colors are terrific, that orange pops. Very cool to have a student paint you during class. Love coming to your blog, there is always a very happy vibe when I come here:) Have a great weekend!

What an impact you made for that kid to want to paint you. 1. She wanted to paint. . . and 2. She wanted to paint YOU!
