Welcome to day 3 of our 30 Day Creative Challenge! Seattle is flooded today. There are quick moving streams along the sides of roads. Puddles the size of lakes. The primary challenge is to respond to the creative prompts in these posts, and see what happens. The alternative challenge is to make a comic based on the year 2020.

Yesterday I talked about how Carlos San Millan paints the effect of light so beautifully, and posted work by a painter he recommended: Emil Joseph Robinson. Today I’d like to make some points about one of his paintings, and how he has applied ideas of contrast to paint the effects of light. Take a look …
Lendy and I met this evening and painted little studies in preparation for the upcoming workshop Paint like Alice Neel. We had League model/instructor Mark MacKenzie dress up in a suit and tie, and sat him in my new (old) green chair. It’s shabby and low to the ground, so he looked angular and awkward, …
