I just came back from a "quickie" at Arroyo Seco, Pasadena, 5 min. drive from home... I got there about 10 past 4 and by the time I set up and started the light changed very rapidly... and the bright spots on the trees became much warmer and brighter, and I wasn't able to capture that... and also I heard noises in the bushes so I just packed and left...

Those I also painted on the Rialto Paint out, and the show at the South Pas library is tomorrow... I'm very excited and anxious, because this is my first time ever showing my work... I planned this paintings since I found out about this paint out... on august / sept. the light was much more interesting for the "doorway" painting... I'll will post my other studies for this painting... for the Theatre facade I also painted several times... I didn't realize that was allowed to enter paintings done also on other days besides oct. 12.

This is my self portrait... It's charcoal on bristol paper... I'm a little skinnier and young looking that I really am... possibly I was looking into my soul... I attended to great drawing classes at LAAFA, and so far one my fav instructors was Sergio Sanchez... but I also really enjoyed the almost private sessions with Glenn Vilppu.
Paintings
I love art, and I love making it. It's my dream to go thru a full time art program in the future. I have been taking classes here and there and I feel very lucky to have access to classes with the best artists in this country... and they are so many... I've been learning figure drawing and I still struggle in teaching myself on painting it... I always have a project on my little home office/ studio ... I use photographs, I do still life set ups, and I'm usually my own model... I have been very busy at work (I'm a dentist) and I had to quit my part classes for a while... i'm looking forward in getting back to it. Luckly I joined Frank Serrano's saturday's plein air workshops and I was able to catch a couple sessions before this year ends. This painting is from a pic I took in Italy - Amalfi i the winter... It's an water based oil painting.
