Last 100 years Painter : Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci was a Florentine artist, one of the great teachers of the High Renaissance, which is also celebrated as a painter, sculptor, architect, engineers, and scientists. Love-depth knowledge and research is the essence of both artistic and scientific efforts. His innovations in the field of painting influenced the course of Italian art for more than a century after his death, and scientific studies-particularly in the field of anatomy, optics, and hydraulics-anticipated many of the developments of modern science.

Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in the small Tuscan town of Vinci, near Florence. He was the son of a wealthy Florentine notary and a peasant woman.
In the mid-1460s the family settled in Florence, where Leonardo was given the best education that Florence, the intellectual and artistic center of Italy, could offer. He quickly advanced socially and intellectually. He was handsome, persuasive in conversation, and a fine musician and improvisation. About 1466 he was apprenticed as a garzone (studio boy) to Andrea del Verrocchio, Florence's leading painters and sculptors of the day. In Verrocchio workshop Leonardo was introduced to a variety of activities, from painting altarpieces and panel pictures to the creation of a large sculpture projects in marble and bronze. In 1472 he entered the painters guild of Florence, and in 1476 he was mentioned as Verrocchio's assistant. In Verrocchio's Baptism of Christ (c. 1470, Uffizi, Florence), the kneeling angel at the left of the painting by Leonardo.

Summer Body Painting


Here's an abstract I painted on a model I really like work with, Kate. It was done this summer while my friend Mark Reid was visiting.

Later I traveled to the World Body Painting Festival in Seeboden, Austria to be Mark's assistant. What a thrill, I love working with and for Mark who placed 5th overall in sponge and brush. I, a bit ill prepared and very nervously, competed in the face painting and simply wanted to have fun did not want to place last. I had fun and owe much of that to my really wonderful model. I placed 19th overall.
