Recent portrait practice
The Dryden Gallery at Providence Picture Frame, in Providence, RI graciously invited the Kate Huntington group to use their gallery two days each week to paint portraits and draw the figure. The current show hanging is the work of Ed Clark a famous and wonderful photographer that worked for Life Magazine. I couldn't resist including the photos that are hung directly behind our model stand. I've always loved Ed Clark's photo of accordion-playing Chief Petty Officer (USN) Graham Jackson with tears streaming down his face as President Franklin D. Roosevelt's flag-draped funeral train leaves Warm Springs, Ga., April 13, 1945.
This is another portrait that includes one of Ed Clarke's famous photos. Marilyn is staring back, but the model doesn't notice. Our model is the fantastical visual artist and professional pianist Mark Taber
In this portrait I included artist Kate Huntington, who, for the past 25 years has been arranging for models and locations to support our habit. The model is the gracious Director of the Dryden Gallery.
