Rudy Calao and Rockport



Rudy Calao and Rockport

Painter and friend, Rudy Calao was kind enough to let me bring a group of students into his studio in June of 2011 and these are a few pictures I took of the event along with a little video.
Rudy passed In October of 2014 and we shall all miss him.
Robert Holden has an excellent blog entry about Rudy and it is highly recommended.
Rudolph N. “Rudy” Colao’s life and career are lovingly recounted in an obituary published in the Gloucester Daily Times on Oct. 11, 2014, which can be read online. http://www.gloucestertimes.com/obituaries/rudolph-n-colao/article_b28e8ad5-19f9-5b7c-9f77-c308f7be91be.html

Art Students League Interiors



Here are some more paintings of interiors at the Art Students League of New York


 This is a view of the prop closet in studio seven, up on the fourth floor of the league.
Presiding over everything is the Donatello David.
In the back of the studio were painting racks and lockers and every so often an intrepid artist that would defiantly stake claim to a spot in the dim light and wrest a masterpiece out of thin air. 

There was a time when the light on the third and fourth floors of the League was glorious almost spiritual.
