Gay Faulkenberry Workshop: Day 3
We started the day reviewing a slide show that Gay had prepared, including works by her teacher Serge Bongard. I completed two in-class studios and one quick painting after class. I couldn’t get a good photograph of the first study, so haven’t posted that one. Here are the other two.
Plums and flowers:
Red Still Life - Oil on Linen - 6×8 - SOLD
I did this quick study of cactus outside of town. I’ve never painted cactus before. I need to figure out their “gesture”, that is, the movement and shapes that make a cactus a cactus. This allows me to abstract out objects.

Following with interest Ed!
What’s the main focus of the workshop? Colour, colour harmony?
Nice to see the cactus painting, it is special in a way that although you painted it on the spot it has a sort of indoor feel to it if you ask me, Might be influences from the workshop and your main attention to the cactus.

I didn’t have a particular focus, in fact I signed up for the class because a friend did
in the end, this class is about dediacated painting time. Practice, practice, practice.
