Portrait

18 x 20
Oil

I've pushed paint around on this picture for far too long.  I think she's done...maybe a few little jabs with the brushes but maybe not, too.  I want to do more oil portraits, get my hand, arm and head (mostly) to loosen up and get out of the tight zone!!!!!! I like the detail here and I dislike it too.  Ah, the totally ambivalent painter.

Streetscape/Landscape

These are two images I recently had photographed so that I could present them here. The top picture was done in 2005; it is watercolor on paper and was done with reference to a photograph and a pastel I did on location at a large, private facility in Duxbury, Massachusetts during an artist-run workshop I attended. The street scene was done in 2002 and is watercolor on paper. It was completed in my studio and won Third Prize at the Duxbury Art Association annual summer exhibition. It is an image of Surplus Street, Duxbury looking east to Washington Street.
