Air Conditioned Sunshine

Sunny sunflowers in air conditioned comfort of home. Gail came over and we painted inside.
I decided to go big (for a plein air painter) this is 18 x 24 inches! So I painted small flowers on a large canvas!

Here are the puppies also enjoying the AC. They don't even stay outside for too long!

Making a list of paintings for the Ventana Medical Systems Show next week, 18 good enough to show from 4 years of painting. Presenting at Art Institute of Tucson's open house tomorrow.

Summer Painting

The monsoons have started, it is hot and humid.
Not a good condition to paint outdoors, even if it is lush and green for once.

5 x 7 inches Hotel Congress

Inspired by Duane Keiser's cigar box (see "love these paintings" in list to right)

I got my painting partner and I, smaller stealth boxes to paint in coffee shops. In this inaugural outing, we went to the lobby of Hotel Congress. Nice to work in air conditioning with music and bathrooms handy.

Also painted some in studio common objects, here is a fresh teabag on a 6 x 6 inch canvas.

Here are the pup pictures, they are happily hunting lizards, palo verde beatles and tarantulas.
Miss Priscilla scouting.

This is Rufus in action, he is a swift and strong leaper, look ma, no feet on ground!

SketchN and PaintN

Have had the urge to sketch for a while, so we went to the old downtown residences which are quite charming. Next day went to Tohono Chul and painted there.
Of course the obligitory puppy pics.

Paintings N Pups

Or rather Pups-N-Paintings.
Due to complaints that there were no DOG pictures.... "TEAM WORK"

Purple flowers bringing on the Butterflies.

94 Degrees, probably last day of season for painting out doors.

Decided to face the always challenging rocks.

Art Institute of Tucson

Had an interview today that must have gone well since they gave me application forms to fill out.
Might be teaching a 2D and/or a 3D course in July.
Here is my demo reel also available on youtube if you search for Dinardi.
