Salon Showcase 2011-W34

Though the Salon hiatus continues, we still reached two milestones this week...  on Sunday we welcomed our 1,500th blog viewer.  Friday saw an international view from the 25th country so far — Ukraine.  Ласкаво просимо!  (That was welcome; wait until you see enjoy, it's a doozy.)   In a couple weeks we return to Salon-as-usual.  For the time being, we offer yet another Face of Evil along with a classic painting by Steve.  насолоджуйтеся!

Salon Showcase 2011-W33

Without the Salonians here to spur on progress, today's Face of Evil took even longer than last week's.  Egad!  Better start on Friday next week.  From the vault, we have a classic work by Julia.  Enjoy!

Salon Showcase 2011-W32

Showcase is a little tardy, as there were a lot of evil flowing out of the brushes today.  Even so, the painting overly flatters its subject.  Tsk.  In addition, we offer a classic Glen painting from the blogmaster's vault.  Enjoy!

Salon Showcase 2011-W31

Our wee blog got quite a few views this morning, for no apparent reason, but thanks mysterious fans!  Today, we offer a July 4th plein air sketch from Julia's book, along with this week's dishonoree in the evil face series.  Five down, seven to go...  enjoy!
