Fred Bell and I, Judith Reidy Start Paintings at McCarthy Park

 Yesterday it was our first really warm day for 2012.  So as our tradition goes, Fred and I always find a place to paint.  This year it was the north end of McCarty park in West Allis.  We both had a great start on our respective paintings and had a lot of laughs.
 

You should know that 

Fred Bell

opening tonight at the Portrait Gallery.

Still Developing the Foreground

As you already know I have been working on this painting simplifying the morass of information in the photos. This is number two photo.

30 minutes Into a Painting done my Judith Reidy

In view of last evenings class upon Lorin Willey's prompting and suggested photo, I began working on this painting some 35 minutes ago. I will keep you posted as to the progress.

I think the photo was taken by Lorin in Ireland, yet it seems like the scene could come from a hilly region in Wisconsin.

I want to put the "head" on the white tree yet. But I think I will wait a bit.
The focal point appears near the foreground now, and I think it should be further back. so I will need to reduce the contrast in the foreground and move it further up the stream.....

Or maybe I should just cut off the top of the painting!

Komen Ribbon Completed

Front of Friends

Back of Friends

Here are the finished Ribbons without the base. The ribbon to be on display at the local Kohl's Department Store in Oak Creek in September and October, accept for a time where this sculpture and others will be along the route of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, September 25th. At the end of October there will be a national auction of the 17 sculptures, including my , Judith Reidy's 'Friends'.

I hope that my sculpture, Friends, will end up in a hospital or cancer care center to serve as an inspiration and encouragement to cancer patients and their families.

Judith Reidy Studio Painting Walking Again in Cedar Park

Walking Again in Cedar Park
by Judith Reidy
11" X 14" unframed
oil
$325 with frame

This studio completed Plein Air painting was based on a view of Cedar Park in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. I worked on this during the Cedarburg Plein Air Event, while other artists around me were painting other views in the area. I started this painting, then painted the same scene in the Quick Paint which sold in the event. I thought about submitting this fine painting to the main event as well, but in the end decided not to do that since it was too similar to the quick paint painting. But it is available for purchase now like the others were which sold.
