City Gardener

10x10
acrylic on cradled panel

I am thinking of entering this in a group show but haven't decided yet. I plan on doing one more of the gardener series. My wonderful artist friend Sylvie did a variety of poses while we were at Ft. Mason in the city sometime ago. 

I am heading down to Monterey for the 4th Annual Plein Air Convention this week. I am hoping for a time of inspiration and fun. There will be quite a few "rock stars" in the art field giving demos and having panel discussions. There will also be plenty of opportunity to spend money on art supplies. I am hitting Rosemary's Brushes for sure!

    Yes, I agree. You paint the sunlight like nobody else.
    The convention sounds so exciting. You are such role model for me. I always ask myself before I begin to paint "What would Kaethe do?". It makes me slow down and become more strategic.

    Love love love this scene Kaethe. It's full of light and color. The figure is wonderful and I like how you simplified the complex foliage and background city. and Congratulations on winning 3rd place in last month's DPW contest :). Have fun at PACE.
