Head Shots for Writer- Paris Tn, Michelle East Studio

Enjoyed a great time in Paris, Tn on Kentucky Lake this past week. I had the pleasure of photographing a writer named Linda White. She needed some head shots for an upcoming publications called White Cocoon.

We met at the largest winery between Memphis and Nashville. http://www.pariswinery.com/ It was a hot day but that did not deter us! We walked the vineyard and found some wonderful areas to photograph. The vineyard offers daily wine tasting of their fantastic wines and made the journey well worth the drive!

New Artwork Memphis Artist Michelle East

Hi everyone! I have just returned from a workshop held in St. Francisville, LA. Right outside of Baton Rouge. At this workshop I had the pleasure of learning under Corel Painter Master Jeremy Sutton. www.Jeremysutton.com

to see his wonderful work! I learned so much about color and tones in my work. Can't wait to continue practicing what he taught us, though I will never do him justice.

One of the paintings that I did while at the workshop was of this gentleman John. I photographed him in window light inside of a historic plantation Butler-Greenwood.

He came dressed in his reenactment clothes complete with gun and saber!

After the photo session, I painted him in Corel Painter X. Now that I am home, the next step is to print this painting out on canvas and add some texture with my pallette knife and oil paints. The finished work will be 20x24 combined media on canvas!

Come take a look next time you are in my studio! More to come from my trip!
