Emily Tranquilla e Paziente

[David Kassan]

Thanks everyone. I'm getting excited about the PSOA show. I just got the painting back from the photographer and I'll try to post a new image of the finished and few details. I worked a lot more on the hands, they were so much fun to do, baby chub fingers have so much color.

Whoa.

You know, I need a lot of convincing (or a very big martini) to get me to think this is unfinished. Your stuff just blows me out of the water, Dave.

You deserve some serious commissions, sneaky or no. Best of luck at the auction!

Thanks Rob,

I was always jealous of you SVA guys in school I was always up against you guys in the SI student shows. Mostly Marvin's students. I'd love to see more of your work. The unfinished parts are mostly because I love to build up textures and scumbling colors over others to get blues through warms. fun stuff. I just got a commission today in fact from a woman that lives in Greenwich, CT she wants me to paint her kids. I'm really glad she has large family, 2 girls and 2 boys. she want them to be all separate works.

Dave, I've spent the last 15 minutes staring at this painting. I can't tell you how much I wish I had painted it. It knocks my socks off.

As if you have'nt heard it already, beautiful! Very untraditional as a child's portrait, but stunning!
