This painting took two attempts. The artist, not being a golfer herself, had no idea the glove should be worn on the non-dominant hand. So in the first photoshoot her model was wearing a glove on her right hand, and a close friend let her know this was incorrent since the model is actually right-handed. The artist began painting anyway thinking, “Well, no one will know the model’s dominant hand.” Then one day half way through the painting, her husband remarked, “No, no, this is wrong; because the antique wooden driver you are using in the painting is a right-handed club. Thus, the glove would need to be switched to the model’s left hand after all.” After convincing her model to pose for a second session, the artist finally got it right.
Love the bright Fall colors and just working with my palette knife.
It’s so easy to fall in love with Tucsonan landmarks and DeGrazia chapel is no different. The adobe thick wall plastered in specific organic form, the sun or moon hitting you from an open wood ceiling and desert landscape will make you feel the beauty of history. The chapel is for every religion.Â
One of my favorite themes is to paint our beautiful desert. With the coming of spring every year our land quickly transfers to pure magic. These cactus and other desert plants burst forth in bloom turning the desert into a virtual flower garden of beautiful flowers.
