Jeremy Lipking Paints Katie Swatland





I recently had the pleasure of meeting Katie Swatland while visitng New York City (see earlier post). Not only is she a talented artist and a beautiful, poised young woman, but she is also one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She too was in the city to see fellow artist Jeremy Lipking.



When Jeremy was invited to round out his trip to the East Coast by giving a plein air demonstration in Connecticut, he asked Katie to be his model. The result was gorgeous, and I had to share it here:

Very Schmid of Jeremy.

I noticed the similarity as well. I believe he uses Langknickels which contribute to that look. At any rate, similar or not, it's great painting.

Matt, thanks for posting this, it is one of my all-time favourite paintings of Jeremy's, there is just something about it that intrigues me. And, noting the comparison to Schmid.... we should be so lucky....

it was probably more of a nod to Katie's love of Richard Schmidt's work ...
