1998 Learning Oils

Blue hair?  Well, yes.  I began taking adult classes in oil painting with Robert Glaisek, at the Art School at Old Church.  We began with simple still life paintings and one day, Robert told me that he would pose for a portrait.  At that time I was learning to use a simple pallet of blue/red/yellow and white.  Bob showed me how to mix a red-violet and blue-violet from red and blue; a blue-green and yellow-green from blue and yellow; red-orange and yellow-orange.  The photo of this work exaggerates the blue/red mix a bit.  I will put this work in my show in honor or a gentle man and great teacher.
