I had the chance to paint a new friend Thursday at the #newvisionsartshow hosted by @illumegallery in St. George this week. Painting someone is a great way to get to know them if you can chat while painting. Becky was a wonderful model and I had a great time getting to know her just a bit. . #portraiture #allaprima #painting #oilpainting #stradaeasel #howardlyon #howardlyonart

Graphite on Duralar. I have been wanting to do something on this paper after seeing @scottmfischer work his magic on it. There is a luminosity to it that is really warm. Looking forward to playing with it more. . . #pencildrawing #theguideartists #creativeuprising #artcollective #contemporaryportraits #artsloverx #worldvisualcollective

"Sonja in Grey" 8"X10" oil on linen on panel, in a beautiful @masterworksframes frame. I decided not to push this much further, liking the brushwork in places and transparency in the shadows. Finished the blouse and background and am calling it. . Available on my site.

Tonight was a small victory. I have been struggling to get something I am happy with the past 6 weeks. Tonight was better. Painting my friend @edinnell is always fun. She has such beautiful features to paint. Thanks Erin! #stradaeasel #rosemarybrushes #portrait #oilpainting #allaprima

"The Return of Flora" 16" x 20" oil on panel. I'll post more about the meaning of the piece in an upcoming Muddy Colors post. Thank you Sonja Lanai Benson for being a wonderful model for this painting and Mary Manning Farris for making me the beautiful costume I imagined. Including a couple shots. One is a balanced capture and the other taken with my phone.

A little more on this tondo. The ébauche is finished on all of it and the second pass started on the face. 12" oil on panel #painting #portrait #beauty #wip
