In show at the Guild: "Peter's Garden Lunch"

 "Peter's Garden Lunch" by Sandra Galda
16"x20" oil on masonite

I am very happy this painting I completed last summer (2010)  was just juried into a show at The Guild of Boston Artists, I delivered it to the gallery yesterday! The show,  the Annual Regional Painting Competition for non-artist members, ( I am only a student member);  runs October 1 - 23, 2011.  I feel the excellent training offered with Paul Ingbretson at his studios, Ingbretson Studios, is helping me to produce much better art. I hope for even better results in my art the longer I study under Paul's wonderful guidance!  If interested in purchasing this, or any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post.

update :Brown Paper Prep Drawing and experimental blog....

Brown Paper Prep Drawing by Sandra Galda
charcoal and chalk on brown wrapping paper

This is an update on the brown paper sketch prep drawing for a still life in the studio.  This is the first time I am doing this exercise which aids an artist in exploring the value systems, edge characteristics, and composition, in a still life set up in preparation for a painting.  I am putting an additional special interest blog that is in its trial stage-Not sure if it will fly for long but here it is!  http://thebostonschoolofpainting.blogspot.com/

"Hold On"

"Hold On" by Sandra Galda
16"x20" oil on canvas


I found out today that my painting "Hold On" was juried into a spring member's show at the Newburyport Art Association. It will hang in their gallery for viewing and sale most of April.  Check out the NAA web site here.  A slight fracture to my wrist while rollerskating with daughter's high school has slowed me down a little in the art department--it sure hurts. I have a hand /wrist brace with velcro straps to stabilize my wrist movement while it heals--I can still draw and paint.  "Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do" -Edgar Degas.  Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Bust Sketches (NA)

Male Bust Sketch by Sandra Galda
pencil on paper
approx. 3"x5"


Female Bust Sketch by Sandra Galda
pencil on paper
approx 3"x5"


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.
