Portraits

These two portraits were commissions of siblings. The paintings have a completely different lighting and mood so I thought it would be interesting to post them together.

Working Harbors in Maine

The following paintings are a few from my travels around to the working harbors of Maine which also include outlying islands such as Frenchboro.

About the Johns Hopkins Portrait Collection

In the last quarterly issue of the Johns Hopkins Magazine, there is an article on the portrait collection from it's beginnings with the commissioning of a portrait by John Singer Sargent.

I was happy that the article included the painting I did of Dr. Barton Childs. If you would like to read the article, you may click on this link and go to the fourth main article titled, "The Greatest Veneration". http://magazine.jhu.edu/

Blue Show at Pearson Legacy Gallery in Deer Isle

This is a painting of a dear friend on display in Deer Isle Maine. I did it about 10 years ago.

She is a survivor of the Holocaust and was a hidden child in Belgium.

I call it Delphinium Blue, Portrait of Sonnie.

A Walk on Beech Hill Road

This is the first completed plein air painting of the summer.

It is on the Beech Hill Road on Mount Desert Island.

Behind me, Beech Mountain. To the left, Long Pond.

In front, Beech Mountain Farm.

Italy

I am back from Italy and will be posting in the next few months more work from the trip.

For now, the first work, "The Grotto Boatmen of Capri"

Sketches from Travels

In preparation for teaching an Italian sketch trip, I went looking through my notebooks as examples for my students. Here are a few pages from prior travels to museums and a couple local sketches from Maine.
