"Hillary" 16x20 oil portraitHurray I have successfully pulled my bestest friend into the blogging world! This is a portrait I did of her, my dear Hillary Miller, when were still in college circa (cough cough)... oh excuse me I've had this terrible cough for months! ANYWAY, she has quickly gotten the hang of it as evident of her contribution to Daily Watercolors blog . Her very own blog will begin Hillary Miller Art Works to develop quickly especially because I've now put the pressure on her lol Which by isn't fair because she does a lot of outdoor shows with her gorgeous, and I mean GORGEOUS hand-painted silk scarves! Check them out here Hillary Miller's Silk Tallit and other Scarves They are very soft and silky and can be made to order from floral to landscape designs, etc. Of course watercolors and silk scarves aren't all she does. She paints in oils, acrylics and does pottery among other things. Plus she is has taught art in colleges and in her own studio. Maybe she will give us a tour of her lovely studio some time :) She's a busy girl, in fact, in a couple days she will be leaving for Palo Alto show in Northern California.
Does anybody happen to know what master painter or "his" painting I've thrown Hillary into?
I'm here, busy in the background working on commission and some color charts. But keep checking up on those blogs I usually visit :)
Hope you're enjoying the fall weather! I think some plants are getting a little confused between some cool weather and sunny ones we've been having so a few plants are blooming like our giant redbud tree.
I sign off with a sample of Hillary's custom painted silk scarf (seen here with a matching pouch).

And by the way, that portrait of me looks like it was done yesterday - it is still so fresh and vibrant(wish I still looked like that yesterday!)!

Red no worries, more reason for you and I to hang out more often and you can tell me about artists you know ;)
ReplyDeleteA superb beautiful painting. Judging by the sound of that cough it has held the lovely color well for a 75 year old painting.
ReplyDeleteLOL touché onpainting! Well since it's a positive I can admit it was about 1988 I think. It was a piece I painted for a 2-women show I did while I was in college :)

ReplyDeleteI'm working on a tallit for a girl in my Synagogue, whose Bat Mitzvah is approaching. Her dad bought my tallit making services at our fundraising auction..
