Drawing of Sculptural Cuirassed Torso, Roman, AD 90-96 by Sandra Galda

5"x7" Drawing of Sculptural Cuirassed Torso, Roman, AD 90-96. The sculpture is found at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. It has been on display there so long, I think it has been there since it was originally sculpted.....

Well the sets for the Sound of Music are almost done, it has been a worthwhile and fun project! After painting all day, today's blog post will have to be a drawing. If interested in purchasing, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com Thanks for looking, tell me what you think-leave a comment!

Above are two pictures of the Song of Music sets the kids at the high school, the director of the musical and I are working on for the musical this Thursday. They are such a good painting team! I designed and painted on the outlines then guided them to the application of the best colors to apply. We have lots more to do, but the lion's share is done. The director of the musical is an amazing girl, as is the fellow who built the sets!!! I will post more of the sets later.

The Edge of Cup (NA)

The photo on this cup is too fuzzy...will have to get a better shot. Today is my Sound of Music painting day....when I am oulining some large expanses of flats for a high school musical production. I will post pictures thru the process, hopefully later today. I worked next to a very nice artist during the workshop and we just exchanged links to our blogs...a first for me! Her art blog can be found by clicking here or look to my blog list on the right side of this page listed under other blogs I follow. more later ...

Ok, so here is the set. I just got home and I am tired. I drew it on the flats with charcoal and then solidified the correct lines with dark acrylic paint with a brush. Now the kids will fill in the "coloring book" with really big crayons...I mean small size rollers with Opps paint. Then I hope to get a chance to finish it over with some sprayed on shadows to give it some modeling, shading ect. Only three more this size to go! The show is this Thursday...... By the way, another wonderful artist contacted me from the Carol Marine workshop and we also exchanged links to our blogs, her name is Karen Brunson.

Workshop exercise: Green Apple

Green Apple by Sandra Galda

Oil on gessoboard 6"x6"

I have learned so much in the Carol Marine workshop, and met many wonderful and talented artists there! We explored many concepts that artists must grapple with in order to produce attractive significant small paintings. If anyone would like to see the artblog of Carol Marine, click here ! I have been out of town since last Thursday through late Sunday night and only posted drawings and one painting. Since gettting back home I have been taking a three day workshop. Therefore, if you are visiting my blog for the first time, look thru my previous posts to see my work completed before the above mentioned happy interruptions.

Sketch of St. John the Baptist by Sandra Galda (NA)

A quick, loosely sketched drawing of John the Baptist after an old Renaissance painting. Many celebrate Ash Wednesday today, and this seems an appropriate subject to post! Posting a sketch is a departure from the aim of this blog, but drawing can sharpen the talent, albeit in a different way, than the small daily paintings. It is best can post when overly busy with family!

Roll and Coffee by Sandra Galda

5"x7" oil on masonite

A yummy snack! 5"x7" oil on gessoboard. Shooting for an abbreviated realism that gives the viewer just a little more brushwork to enjoy than smooth ultra-realism. Realism is for cameras.....

Sketch of Michelangelo's Prophet on Sistine Ceiling by Sandra Galda (NA)

No, this is not an oil painting--I know I know--this is a blog about my small oil paintings. I think should be permitted to stray just a bit, because my drawing of Michelangelo's prophet-Zechariah is I believe, so appropriate to my current task of editing, resubmitting, and upon approval, printing and binding my thesis about Michelangelo. Even though I have graduated, this "little" final task has got to be done. Graphite on paper. It is not available, because I gifted it to a special professor at Harvard whose teaching on Renaissance Art I enjoyed so much.

Engagement Rose II by Sandra Galda (NA)

Here is another try at the roses from that bouquet. It is amazing to me that some of the roses still look like roses, they are over a week old. I just keep snipping the stems down...here is a short but surviving one! I do believe I caught it better this time, practice does help! 5x7 oil on gesso board.

Engaging Rose by Sandra Galda (NA)

This is one of the three dozen roses my hubby purchased as we were leaving NYC on our hoiliday day trip with the kids, and in particular, our soon to be engaged son and his sweet girlfriend. It was the very next day our son proposed to his wonderful girl. We are thrilled!

Christmas Clown by Sandra Galda

Christmas Clown by Sandra Galda

4"x4" oil on gessoed masonite

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Christmas Clown is a board small painting. This little guy has turned up on our tree for many many years. We used to have lots of child-like wooden ornaments hanging on our trees each year. This year, the wooden ornaments and our kid's Hallmark collectible ornaments are on a separate kids tree in our good parlor. Old glass ornaments are on our family tree in the family room. This approach makes two very different themed trees in our home. Mixed together or not, all the ornaments are so special.

in process: Apple Pie Supply by Sandra Galda (NA)

Here is an 8"x10" oil I am working in the midst of some uncooperative weather...ice storms that have wiped out electricity in our area. We now have power, but soooooooo many still do not. I hope to finish this in the next day or so. Baking must be really on my mind....I am both baking and painting about baking....Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas everyone! If you are interested please contact me by email on this one. It is not done yet though---clip is still visible at top right. Below is the easel set up I am using.

The above photo shows my current set up---I have clips holding the small works to a portable easel that clamps onto my big oak easel. The big oak easel holds a larger painting that takes way longer to complete while I do the small ones. When I want to resume working on the larger--wha-la--I just pop off the portable easel.

Cold December Granny (NA)

Cold December Granny by Sandra Galda

5"x5" oil on gessoboard

This looks like the standard "perfect" granny smith apples that can be found round here in December. You know, in a plastic bag, all alike and perfect...but kind of stiff and too perfect. Not at all like the specimens our apple trees produced this year in our yard...they were pretty unusual. to purchase, contact my email sgalda@aol.com

The Christmas sets!

These are the two "completed " sets. (meaning good enough for its purpose, not a formal museum painting!). The color is slightly off due to the digitals and the limited lighting---I plan on taking more pics once they are set up under the stage lights. I am so glad to be done. Spent two total weeks, Mon.-fri., on these, about 3-4 hours a day. They are over 8 feet tall, and each one is three panels of 50 inches wide(12.5 feet wide). They are painted with an air brush and compressor. This kind of church work makes it really feel like Christmas time for me! So much fun!!! well, must begin to think of the small works for which this blog is supposed to be about!
