William Bougueareau Catalog Raisonne

Wow! I am so excited. I just receive my copy of William Bouguereau Catalog Raisonne. Its is a 2 volume set. I have been waiting for this catalog for a couple of years. I will be sleeping late tonight for sure. If you have a chance to get hold of this book, do so and its a must-have for the contemporary representational artist or student.

Festival de Peinture a Mascouche 2010

The festival this year was one of the more successful ones. I sold my first work of art (the first drawing from the right) and it was bought by our honorary artist Humberto Pinochet! What an honor. He is of Chilean origin but has been in Quebec for the past 30+ years. Check out his inspiring work on his website.
I also gave an atelier on portrait drawing to a group of fellow artists. It was nerve wracking since being in front of many talented artists! But I think it went well. :)

My corner at the festival.

Worked on a portrait of Allison when she was about 2-3 years old. pastel on Canson board 16x20.

I also did a portrait in oil of a young soldier. oil on canvas sheet 11x14
