If I finish late, it's tough to get a good photo, but I kind of like this studio shot, I'll supplement with a well-lit version tomorrow.

Playing with editing, simplifying imagery and textures. Not sure if I would display this cropped or floating so you can see the deckled edge of the paper.

At Last an Exhibit of Daily Paintings!

I have been focused on large scale, longer term works and their respective exhibits. So, this site has been in repose for a while. However, I am happy to announce that I currently have on display the Continuum and Half Time Home series of Daily Paintings.

El Camino a Casa, or The Way Home
Now Showing at Mari-Lin Cafecreacions
Sa Costa de la Pols 8, Palma de Mallorca SPAIN

It was great to see these pieces individually framed and shown in this charming locale. Many thanks to Juan Antonio and Veronica for opening this wonderful creative space, and for the opportunity to share my work.

Pelvis Study

Pelvis Study

By Laurie Pearsall

Original mixed media on paper, 2002

10 X 17.5 in./ 25 X 45 cm

This piece is for sale! Click here for more info.

Pelvis Study is a one-of-a-kind drawing I hung on to from my illustrious teaching career. I was teaching my high school drawing class anatomy and mixed media techniques simultaneously. Every once in a while one of those didactic demos rises to the top!

(Reminder: for a time, this site will be dedicated to finishing and posting almost-there works from years past.)

I'm Learning How to Read Her

from the Heart of the House series, 2010
3 - Panel piece total dimensions: 11.75 x 5.75 in. (30 X 15 cm)
mixed media collage and painting on wood.

This piece has taken quite a number of days to complete, so consider it a few dailies folded into one, intricate piece! it is also designed to have delicately carved wooden legs to stand on- but I need to resolve some technical difficulties first! I'll re-post it if I can overcome the small physics challenge involved! The silhouette is that of my daughter, Malena. Happy mother's day, everyone.

The last few days I have been contemplating a shift, at least temporarily, in the theme of the daily paintings to be posted here over the next month. Click here to read more.
