Working from a photo taken during a visit to Seattle in 2016. Michael is backlit and I was really interested in the reflections in the eye glasses.

Having sharpening my skills at color mixing and applying oil to panel in my recent still life works, I now return to my first love, the portrait. This is my daughter, Claire from a photo taken on a recent trip to Hawaii. "Claire in Kona" 8 x 8 oil on panel  A portrait of her dog, Satchel for my friend Alice. Oil on panel 8 x 10 in.  Trying to paint roses, this is the first one that was successful. Its hard to capture them before they wilt!  Another pet portrait of our granddog, Seamus, who lives with Michael and Katherine in Seattle.  A new obsession..pet portraits in oil. I have started a series of portraits of our pet grandchildren. Here is our Boots.  Two paintings of pears, I like the blue background much better!  |
