Portraits


Mel

Alice

Cindy 
Here are a few recent portraits that I've painted with oil.  I attend George Coll's portrait class on occasion and always enjoy it when I do go.  The top painting, "Mel" is a 91 year young "fly boy" from World War II.  His stories were memorable.  These original paintings were all painted alla prima in a 3 hour class. I have more artwork online:

Coastal Cliffs Beckoning

Coastal Cliffs Beckoning
This is a new oil painting 9" x 12" I completed for 2012.   I started painting it in a traditional way then turned to a pallet knife to get loose and add some impasto.    I also used a small pallet knife to scrape away some of the paint to reveal the underpainting.  This peaceful scene of atmospheric cliffs reaching the Pacific ocean in Hawaii at sunset is for sale.   You can contact me for current availability.
Prints and cards of Coastal Cliffs Beckoning can be ordered through fine art america.

Finding Peace Sukhasana

            Finding Peace Sukhasana

This is a new oil painting for 2012. This 12" x 9" original oil depicts one of the models (also an awesome yoga instructor) of my Tuesday night figure painting group seated in Sukhasana.  I depicted her at a peaceful beach; a place to find inner calm.   I would like to do a series of paintings on yoga poses. This painting is for sale, for current availability  please contact me. Prints are also available of this image at fine art america.
