11"x11" oil  Price $300

This is some of what I learned from the Nancy Boren workshop I attended:  find the mystery in the subject, once you establish the center of interest you can destroy the rest, and it is important to find the hard edge and soften the rest.  This was my most successful painting of the workshop. We had a lovely model who was willing to pose anyway we wanted.  She set up outside under a blue umbrella.  It was fabulous to paint with such talented artists.

Embracing the Story

6"x6" oil

I thought it was interesting that this woman was turned away from the lake.  Her purpose there was the shaded breeze and the ability to completely give herself to the story.  Not a bad moment!

Between Games

5"x7" oil

I took a chance with this one in the composition....I could have fitted her nicely into the center somewhere and defined what she was leaning against, but I thought it would be interesting to make it edge to edge, like she is leaning against the side of the painting.  I am sure this breaks some rule, but I found it to be fun.  I really loved painting this and am happy with the results!
