capturing retro 7"x7" oil figurative
This is a re-do of a painting I did recently and wasn't really happy with, so I changed some colors and clarified some things and I like it much better.

Sharon Smiling 4"x4" oil sold
I tried several unsuccessful times to repaint the portrait I did of Sharon and finally filed it in the trash. I think in part that I was using a really bad reference photo and secondly, I couldn't get it out of my head what I wanted, instead of what I saw.

The heart I created for the "Hearts of Rutland" project was installed in front of Rutland Regional Hospital. It looks pretty cool!

Sharon 4"x4" oil sold
Sharon is a beautiful woman, and I honestly don't think I have fully captured that, although I do think this looks like her. I tried scratching into the paint as a technique on this one....I may have to re-do or re-work this until I am satisfied.

Eddie 4"x4" oil sold
Something I have been thinking about.....painting, for me, is like an itch that I have to scratch. For a long time I had that itch and I ignored it, then I discovered the daily painters "movement" and it gave me the kick-start I needed. Then life got in the way, and I took a hiatus for a few months and when I returned to daily painting, it felt like a wonderful friend that I had been neglecting. The lesson for me in this is to pay attention to those nagging feelings and attend to them without making excuses why I can't do it, or why I shouldn't make it a priority. I feel this way about yoga, eating right, and my family and friends....that makes for a full life in my estimation. I used to be a teacher and when I was that, it was my priority and I am thankful I had that career and met so many wonderful students, parents and fellow educators. My creative energy went to that then, but I always knew I needed to attend to that itch to paint.

Pop 4"x4" oil sold
My dad died 2 years ago. I am doing family "mugshots" and decided to do my "pop" in a way that we frequently saw him....at his computer, trading stocks or sending out a strongly opinionated email. He wore dress shirts and a baseball cap...and I really loved him.
