Goggles
Two-year-old Charlie is a big fan of goggles and doesn’t save them for special occasions (like swimming). This portrait represents his personality so well - spirited, joyful, uninhibited. He’s a funny little guy.

Which of these two do you like better? I painted two versions of a storm off the coast of Puerto Rico. Curious which people prefer.
1. Minimal and calm
2. Heavily layered and intense

Couldn’t waste the oil paints still on the palette after yesterday’s alla prima session, so I did this one of Cap de la Nau on Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Now I have paint left over from this session. To be continued…

“Lexie Grace” went to her new home yesterday. This commissioned work was a big hit with the couple that received it.

Landscapes and portraits are my usual, but I thought I’d try something different tonight.

Another Adirondack work underway. I’ve had a lot of free hours to paint these last couple of days. You can see by my very messy palette that I’ve been busy!

A new one in the works. Painting is sometimes like a puzzle…I’m still working toward the solution here. This is daybreak at Elk Lake Lodge in the Adirondacks. Acrylic on canvas.

Pears. Painted alla prima in acrylic, on a very wet day when my paints just would not dry!

Finished! I think I’ll name it “The Mountains Are Calling.”
To me there is nothing quite as beautiful as the Adirondack Mountains.
