Copy of Carlton's Painting

Edith and I just used this painting by Carlton as a practice in being free.

Apple Blossoms and Glass Bird

This study had so much contrast...

Purple Dress

Speaking of artistic license. This one was truly a moving target. I learned so much about posing and set up. I just allowed myself to be very free with this painting and hope to conquer the concepts in my head, in time...

Alyssa on Red Couch

I really love taking classes from other artists. The actual couch that Alyssa posed on was white. Her skin is so beautifully alabaster that I was not loving the combination. Richard Kirk, an excellent artist that I took a class from in portraiture suggested the red couch and I love it with the purple dress.

Blue and White In Autumn

This was a challenge to get a warm feeling with cool objects. So, I enhanced...you know, used some creative license to make what I wanted to happen. I guess that's what being an artist is all about.

Mandevilla

This painting was a labor of love. I really spent time on the mood and really appreciate Chris' beautiful flowers.

Copper and White

Simply a study in copper with atmosphere. I'm always looking for atmosphere.
