An artist Alexandra Trotsenko suffered a horrific attack and recently the attacker was sentenced. The the injuries sustained have meant that Alexandra can, for the moment, not practice her talent. This was reported by a program on the national radio station RTE Radio 1. In response to this, the community has contributed artistic works to an auction with the hope of raising funds to aid Alexandra to regain her ability to create and to support her on her journey. The auction will take place tomorrow the 27th November. Adams are hosting the auction and have an online catalog where you can view the pieces submitted. It is a really good snapshot of the work being produced by contemporary Irish artists. Have a look and you may be in a position to support.

Kingdom of Heaven still in Photoshop
Kingdom of Heaven still in Photoshop |
This is the last of a series of longer studies in Photoshop. It concludes this group of exercises which represent the most finished work I have managed in Photoshop. This took between 10 and 11 hours. The plan now is to try and put a personal piece together and try and finish it to this level. Simple right?
I currently working on a landscape oil painting - if I tip away at it every night this week it should be done by the weekend.

Pepper number. two Photoshop study
Pepper 2 |
This is a still life study in Photoshop. Took about 2 hours. It turned out OK but I should probably do a few more of these lower light studies. The green work in this is definitely poorer. I used some subdued lighting as all the speed painting work had been in a direct strong light. The good news is that my trusty pepper plants have kept producing. I will have at least two more larger peppers this year before the plant rests.
