PORTRAIT ARTIST OF THE WEEK Global paint-along zoom event Sundays during the pandemic lockdown by SkyTV
PORTRAIT OPERA SINGER 12” x 12” Oil on panel handmade linen over birch December 12, 2020 During the pandemic I joined a community of more than 1200 ARTISTS WORLDWIDE every Sunday for a global Paint-along. This is one of many portraits I painted while watching SkyArts TV live on Sunday mornings. It was a magical session with UK portrait Artist Tom Croft painting the ever effervescent British soprano Leslie Garrett. Love this show. It was something to look forward to every week. Delightful to listen to her chat about opera and even her belting out Silent Night to everyone’s astonishment and shear delight. It was fabulous to participate in this live four hour global painting event on Sundays.
PORTRAIT DANNII MINOGUE 12” x 12” Oil on birch Dec.18, 2020 This is another of many portraits I painted while watching SkyArts TV live on Sunday mornings. Australian singer, actress, fashion designer, presenter, host Dannii Minogue was a pleasure to listen to and paint. She was a real trooper sitting for 4 hours entertaining and chatting until 1 am from her home in Australia to all of us around the world. Just so fabulous to participate in this live four hour global painting event, from my easel in Puerto Rico where I spent the lockdown as I was unable to travel. This paint-along on Sundays allowed me a chance to experiment in different styles.
