Andrew Stevovich: Broken Glass
http://andrewstevovich.blogspot.com/2016/09/broken-glass.html
Saturday, September 24, 2016. Oil on linen, 2016. This composition is a simple juxtaposition between the woman and the broken wine glass. I limited the color palette to cool blues that circle the warm notes of the woman's face, hand, and hair. Complementary colors: yellow/purple, orange/blue, red/green. In the following example, the red in the center of each panel is exactly the same red, but the surrounding colors create dramatically different effects. Radiant. subtle) (jazzy, energetic).

Andrew Stevovich: Young Man Smoking
http://andrewstevovich.blogspot.com/2016/08/young-man-smoking.html
Saturday, August 27, 2016. Oil on linen 2016. My son, Alexander, smokes, and this composition comes from a quick sketch I drew in June. He was wearing a Boston Red Sox cap and a dark grey jacket, but my vision was to go with a red palette against a warm background. The white and black notes work to energize the reds. 4" x 3" drawing on light-yellow lined paper 2016. X 6" oil on linen 2009. Private Collection, Maine. 9" x 9" oil on linen 2009. Private Collection, New York. Pencil on graph paper 2016.

Andrew Stevovich: Dance of Salome
http://andrewstevovich.blogspot.com/2017/01/dance-of-salome.html
Saturday, January 7, 2017. In my last post I included a photograph of a Renaissance painting by Sano di Pietro, showing St. Anthony in three different locations as he journeyed to meet St. Paul. Several readers wrote me afterward, intrigued by the way the painter tried to capture movement and the passage of time. A similar painting - also one of my favorites - is The Feast of Herod and the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. The Feast of Herod and the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. By Boccaccio...

Andrew Stevovich: Lola Likes Red
http://andrewstevovich.blogspot.com/2016/11/lola-likes-red.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2016. Oil on linen, 2016. In this painting, I tried to push the different reds as close together in value and hue as possible. I also tried to create energy without the overt use of a complimentary green color, though there is a faint green tint in her hair and in some of the shadows. As usual, the face was painted first:. One of the most famous painting using a harmony of analogous reds is Red Room (Harmony in Red). Red Room (Harmony in Red). 71" x 87". oil on canvas, 1908. Lola L...

Saturday, November 19, 2016. The idea for Contemplating a Sculpture. Came to me last year and it's one of several compositions I've drawn in recent years on the narrative theme of people engaged with art.

Drawings for a number of other ideas are still floating around the studio, waiting their turn. 9" x 10", oil on linen, 2016. X 4", pen on paper, 2015. Equally, the...
