But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy! No, indeed. It just means I've been too busy to post. (I think that's what that means. Or maybe too lazy to post. Hm.) Anyway, allow me to remedy this tragic state of affairs with a little update: a recent <i>alla prima</i> sketch of my <a href="http://www.stephenearly.com/">studiomate</a>, one night recently when our model cancelled. I have two versions of the painting because MAN OH MAN is it hard to photograph dark paintings. You will notice the painting looks wildly different in these photos because A. my phone's camera is apparently crap and B. this here painter (me) is apparently a crap photographer:<br />

Woot! Here's a photo from the juried exhibition at Principle Gallery Charleston in South Carolina on September 5 - a huge number of the participating artists showed up, from as far away as California, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, New York, and more:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a handful of the artists participating in Principle Gallery Charleston's Women Painting Women exhibition in September 2014</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'l post some more soon... but in the meantime, we have some more photos and such posted to the Women Painting Women Facebook page (be sure to "like" us... we recently just went over the 10,000 "likes" mark! Yay!) at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Women-Painting-Women/373175635459">this link</a>. Also, be sure to check out the <a href="http://www.womenpaintingwomen.com/">Women Painting Women blog</a>, where we update more images of women by women painters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The show received some nice coverage, all of which we haven't completely collected yet... but here's a mention from <i>Fine Art Connisseur</i> at <a href="http://www.fineartconnoisseur.com/Women-Painting-Women-Juried-Show-in-Charleston/19879184">this link</a>. The magazine was also kind enough to cover the Women Painting Women-spawned "PayIt Forward" exhibition at Principle Gallery's original location in Alexandria, VA - <a href="http://www.fineartconnoisseur.com/How-Artists-Galleries-Are-Paying-It-Forward/19879193">here</a> is the article on that show (whose concept was designed by artists Alia El-Bermani to share the spotlight not only with more women artists but also with local charities, who received proceeds from show sales).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Until soon! Happy painting!</div>

Ahem. Was it actually a full year ago now that I vowed I would be better about updating this blog? Probably. Anyway, I'm *slowly* getting my act together, and have at the very least updated some new paintings to my regular website, which has been a long time coming. You can see these at <b><a href="http://www.dianeandjohn.com/figure.htm">this link</a></b> on my site.<br />
<br />
There's a bunch of good stuff coming up soon, including a new <a href="http://www.principlegallery.com/charleston/artists-page?field_artist_target_id=2155&nid=2155"><b>"Women Painting Women" themed show</b></a> - in honor of the 5th anniversary of the blog - at Principle Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina. More info and a preview of *all* of the pieces in the show can be found <a href="http://www.principlegallery.com/charleston/artists-page?field_artist_target_id=2155&nid=2155"><b>here</b></a>!<br />
<br />
More soon! I promise (or do I? Auughh!!) In the meantime, I'll leave you with a painting that is itching for a good home...<br />

I have been absolutely abysmally awful awful awfully terrible about posting here over the past 9-10 months or so. Yikes. There's been a lot of life change going on, a breakup, an apartment move, a broken ankle, some sadness and some happiness and some painting (but never enough!!!) Anyway, I'm going to try for a quick recap here, and then let's move forward in the second half of 2013 with some hardcore productivity, shall we?</span><br />

I'd love to update you on the blow-by-blow of the last several months, but they were crammed full of stuff... so I'd only be able to hit a few highlights.

The exhibition, entitled “Converge: Where Classical & Contemporary Art Collide,” was created and curated by Allison Malafronte, former senior editor of American Artist magazine. Allison is an arts writer, editor, columnist, and curator based in New York City.

PAINTING. So, here are a few things I've been up to, just bits and pieces - the first is a sketch done at a friend's studio yesterday, the next is a sneak detail of a larger piece (30"x40", I think) that I am finishing up for a show this October - more details soon!<br />

For example, I'm subletting a friend's studio for part of the summer, and the change of scenery is definitely nice... not to mention the large amount space and the beautiful north light. It's pleasant, and there are new things to paint, yay! Including this chair:<br />

As I mentioned in my <a href="http://www.dianefeissel.blogspot.com/2012/02/on-expedition.html">previous post</a>, things are gearing up for the April exhibition at <a href="http://www.principlegallery.com/">Principle Gallery</a> - "<a href="http://womenpaintingwomen.blogspot.com/p/expedition-beyond.html">The Expedition and Beyond</a>." Participating artist <a href="http://www.terrystricklandart.blogspot.com/2012/02/expedition-and-beyond-at-principle.html">Terry Strickland</a> has created the following <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy5IRmyHf3o">video preview</a> of the show, a collection of work by 13 artists who painted and lived together for a week in November 2010 on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina (just outside of Charleston). Enjoy the video:<br />

More information on the painting expedition can be found at <a href="http://womenpaintingwomen.blogspot.com/p/on-expedition.html">this link</a> - and some preliminary information on the upcoming exhibition "On Expedition" can be found at <a href="http://womenpaintingwomen.blogspot.com/p/expedition-beyond.html">this link</a>. <br />
<br />
The artists on the 2010 expedition have developed and maintained strong connections during and since the trip; the friendships and comraderie fostered by the trip have inspired an ongoing dialogue about life, painting, and women's role in contemporary representational art.<br />
<br />
The painting below is one I will have in the show, stay tuned for more!<br />

Terry has created a fabulous painting centered on the mythological Three Fates, using none other than we three <a href="http://womenpaintingwomen.blogspot.com/">Women Painting Women</a> contributors (myself, <a href="http://alia-fineart.com/">Alia El-Bermani</a> and <a href="http://www.sadievaleri.com/">Sadie Valeri</a>) as models! It's a touching and beautiful tribute to the spirit of "<a href="http://womenpaintingwomen.blogspot.com/">Women Painting Women</a>," and completely fitting as we were all fortunate to get to know Terry through the Women Painting Women <a href="http://www.robertlangestudios.com/artist/featured/42_womenpaintingwomen/women.html">exhibition</a> and <a href="http://womenpaintingwomen.blogspot.com/p/on-expedition.html">painting expedition</a> in Charleston, South Carolina in 2010.

As you're welcoming in 2012, don’t forget to check out (and
maybe lend some monetary support to?) a wonderful new art academy here in

as Open Studios sessions for local artists to come work from the live model) – it's
a great place, and needs your help! There are many improvements which need to
be made to the physical space, which are outlined in their fundraising page, at
