Hye Coh and Denouement

Yesterday, Novemeber 12th 2008, I went out plein air painting with Hye Coh, one of the artists on my mentor program. Hye has been very successful in the animation industry. She came to pick me up at Nancy Frey's home, where my painting Denouement resides. I enjoyed showing Hye the painting very much, and she commented: "Seeing this painting is like seeing the great paintings in the great museums in Europe, like in London or Paris." That was quite an honor.

After Sunday's Life Drawing Group

A recent pic taken of me after one of the October Sunday life drawing sessions in my loft. I enjoy hosting them very much--and the artist and models are great to work with.

Stay tuned, I will be posting some of my new California landscapes here as I take photos of them. I am painting everyday in the Los Angeles area from Nov. 8th-Dec. 15th.

Cheers,

Michael
