Portrait of Kate Moss part 2

Hey friends!
How was your day?
Today I attempted Clay Sculpting for the first time!
So basically i've been wanting to sculpt pretty much my whole life
and last week i ordered some clay and carving tools....
I tried my hand at it all day...
so if it turns out i will be posting soon :)

So today's post is a different version of the Kate Moss portrait i posted last week.
I thought i would do a full length version of it too.
I hope you like it : )

A Dream That I Call Home - Inspiration Friday

Well My Friends it's Friday!~
YAY! I'm really happy that it is.
This has been a long week!
For example, I definitely fell asleep at my computer while proof reading last night!
My brother was kind enough to proof it, and click post for me, then wake me up! hahah
Yea, needless to say, I'm ready for some sleep this weekend.

So today's Inspiration Friday was inspired by the mix I'm currently listing to...
The playlist is posted up on "Inside My Brain" so you can listen along ;)
But really like how it turned out!
It has a warm intimate feel to it.
It kind of reminds me of the dreams you have that you're really disappointed you had to wake up,
and you wish they could go on forever...
You know what I'm talking about, right???

The Images are from a variety of places... Snorpy, Joe Sorren (my favorite living painter), Vincent Van Gogh, Life Magazine (1950), And the last photo on the bottom right, I took during this last Fashion Week at the Siki Im Fashion Presentation.

P.S. The image of Kate Moss was when she was 14 and it was her first photo shoot, i think... What the heck! She looked like a star from day 1 ;)

P.S.S. I'm working on a story book painting for yawl, i think you will like it! :)

Irving Penn 1917 – 2009

Well Friends, We all lost a genius today.
Legendary photographer Irving Penn died today at age 92.
I have to say, I'm pretty bummed about his passing.
I feel like the number of Old Great Artists like him keep dwindling down.
He is one of my all time favorite photographers...a true inspiration...
I mean, he was still working in his 90's!
So awesome! Shoot! He is so, so, so amazing!
I just hope we (young artists) can take the baton and inspire the world like Irving has.

As a Tribute to him,
I thought I'd share these two paintings today.
The first painting is an old picture of Irving Penn in the the military.
The second one is of the Nude Portrait he did of Kate Moss.
I really tried to do the painting in a way that would do justice to Irving's incredible Black & Whites.
I hope you like the pictures.
If you haven't seen Irving Penn's work, please look it up. You will be a fan!
