This is a blog to share my love of painting and drawing. Daily practice isn't always possible, but it remains the best way to make consistent progress.

About Me
- Rhonda Hurwitz
- I spent hours drawing with my artist dad when I was a kid. Decades later, I’m still happiest in front of an easel. I experiment and explore various media, and subjects vary. I draw and paint from life – people on location, models in the studio, ‘en plein air’ in until winter comes. Each day in the Litchfield Hills brings new ideas: a blue-violet snow shadow, rocks on the shoreline; a barn lit by afternoon light; an interesting gesture … Recently, printmaking has added a new dimension to my art practice. I love the happy accidents that occur with each printed monotype. I’ve been fortunate to study with many talented artists, who have helped to advance my skills, including Melanie Reim, Dean Fisher, Patti Mollica and Anthony Kirk. Art is a never-ending journey. My goal is to say more with less, with marks and brushstrokes that are bold, loose and confident. Onward! I live in Goshen, CT with my husband, and a rescue dog named Cassie. Thanks for visiting!

Beautiful! You do wonderful work. You have caught the texture and colors of the vase perfect.
I just read your post from the daily painter group. First off, I would say that your work is as strong as any of the work that I've seen on the site and was surprised when you referred to your paintings as "not ready for primetime". As for being looser my advice would be to use much bigger brushes than you think you should. Leave the tiny brushes entirely out of the equation. The other thing that I find helpful is to paint really, really fast.
Brad-- thank you for the encouraging comments about my work...and the advice about loosening up. I believe today's painting (silk kimonos) took a step in that direction. I guess we are our own worse critics:)
