Just finished a painting workshop with Melinda Cootsona. It was abstract figuration, how to paint figures from photographs, without looking like it. I did a couple of small paintings from the same photograph (from an Anthropologie catalog.) The paintings are so-so, but it really got me loosened up.
So I was inspired and decided to do a painting of the Stanford Band (it's beginning of football season, after all!)
I painted over a still life from the previous class I took from Melinda. (It was a pretty bad still life of vegetables from my garden.) Some of the light green still shows through.
