| "Reg" watercolour, 11 X 14 When a friend at our church lost her father, I spotted a photo of him at the funeral home that I thought would make a wonderful painting. I hope I did justice to him, since I had never met him. It was a challenge to do his face, since there wasn't much light and shadow on it. I abstracted the clothing and the background quite a bit, and tried out several different texture techniques. I would have liked to know Reg. |

| "Summer Sudoku" watercolour 11 X 14 I took a photo of this fellow at the beach last summer, I think at Southampton. I was pleased with the way I captured the intensity of his manner. I was interested in my eye movement in this painting-- my eye looks back and forth between his face and his hand, top to bottom. I hope to try more portraits in the future. It's a satisfying challenge, to capture a likeness. I only did one portrait commission once, (with the exception of Brandy the dog!), and I agonized over it. But it was about 5 years ago. Here it is! |
