"Keep the Beat"
8"x10" oil on gesso board
I heard on our classical radio station that it is Beethoven's birthday! This old Seth Thomas metronome sits near our baby grand as our daughter practices her piano ...an hour each weekday! This is her tenth year of lessons and she plays terrific!

This pic was taken outside in a snow storm! The cherry is artificial--a wooden one--but it still had the power to instigate hunger!

In Process: large landscape by Sandra Galda
Here is a shot of my ongoing work on a much neglected landscape--I stand right on that chair and paint it while it hangs. This behemoth needs sooooo much work...it really is my large exercise in "cutting my teeth" on landscape. When I really get into it, I take the monster down and put in on my oak easel. It is 50 x60 inches..I stretched it for one of my art classes at Harvard and have since over painted it with this scene in progress. I rarely paint landscapes now, my agenda is to paint daily and still life just seems to be the best way for me to learn fast and paint daily--right in my home. I few years ago I painted a number of huge landscapes for theater sets. I have also done much smaller landscape paintings in the past.

"Dad's Shaving Brush" by Sandra Galda
This is my dad's shaving brush, part of a set that includes a matching cup. The foaming soap is still in it, even though he has been gone 13 years now. I keep it in my bathroom cupboard to remind me of him! Thought I should include it today to complement yesterday's post of my mom's German mementos-she has been gone 20 years this December. Holidays, though special, have never been the same without them! If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use PayPal button if included in this post.

Bust Sketches (NA)
Just a sketches today. (NA) Wednesday I had a wonderful visit with an amazing artist many of you already know. Stapleton Kearns is in my opinion, destined to be a legendary artist whose art will be held in museum collections- that is, those museums which treasure contemporary traditional realism. His landscape painting style is if I remember his term correctly, traditional realism. He is a wonderful teacher and he blogs some of the most concisely and amusingly written information every fine art painter needs to know. What a genius painter. I am so happy to have met him.

Pear Positioned (NA)
Did this at the oil class yesterday offered by Ron Straka. He gave me some much needed critique on my work. My shadows have tended to be too cool and need warmth and a closer attention to including the local color of the surfaces my shadows rest on. I now have some great ideas from Ron how to remedy this. My shadows are a bit warmer and more correct here dont you think? If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use PayPal button if included in this post.

In Process: Bear Story
I started this painting today with the idea of commemorating my German heritage. It is enjoyable to paint beautiful and sentimental objects. The German bear, possibly a Steiff bear, is pretty old as is the teacup. They belonged to my grandmother, then my mother, and now they are entrusted to me. I have lots more work to do on this one, check back! If interested in purchasing contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use PayPal button if included in this post.
