"African Violet (blue pot)" by Faith Goldstein (11"x14"), oil

Sometimes our Journey is spent waiting for the paint to "dry". (...other times it is spent waiting for the perfect day to paint!)

Faith Goldstein: Westchester County, New York, United States; I earned my BFA at SUNY OSWEGO in Drawing and Photography. After college, I worked as a free-lance artist in Manhattan, sketching buyer's catalogues for many well known manufacturers, including both, Stone Mountain and Adrienne Vittadini Handbags. I did this work until the tragedy of 9/11. ... As my children grew, I enrolled in a painting workshop, taught by Don Keene, at the Pelham Art Center. He is an accomplished artist, and art instructor; a mentor whose gifts have influenced my life... and influenced the marks I make with paint and brush. ...At that time, I painted in Acrylic. Currently, I am painting in Oils and often have my camera in hand to record the moment that is stopped in time, that may inspire a painting. ...I am thinking it is a GREAT way to spend the next 50plus years of my life! (What a JOURNEY!)
