One of the world's greatest paintings is the Mona Lisa...this link address the question, should it be restored? Hum... I think Leonardo would have already found a solution to this problem.

Frida truly created her own universe...her memory and art lives on.

THE GOLDEN MEAN and Composition... YouTube Video by Stafan Baumann

Painting this way is like going back in time to the old masters. It seems to be a lot of work, but doing it brings paintings up to another level. With practice, I hope to be able to achieve these proportions without having to draw in the lines. Happy Painting!

Red rose in the spot light.

This is a painting I did using the Golden Mean. It is 9 x 12 and was painted in about an hour.  The book is a music book, and origninally I wanted to put in the music notes, but I decided the spotlight was on the rose, and that was all that was really needed in this study. I am very happy with how it turned out.

With spring in the air...I hope to get out and do some plein air painting....
