Works in Progress
Wednesday, July 20th, 2016
If you follow what I am doing in my studio you may think I have not been doing much. The truth is I’m doing quite a lot, but have not been finishing what I start. Sometimes the isolation of studio work leads to spinning my wheels and a lack of impetus to keep on with the […]

Noah’s guitar continued
Saturday, February 4th, 2012
I’ve started another painting in my class with Gabriel Lipper so I’m not moving along with Noah’s Guitar as fast as I might, but here’s the latest progress: I think this is where I left off in my last post – still trying to get the rubber out of that guitar neck… Catching the age […]

Noah’s guitar
Friday, January 13th, 2012
Remember the pictures of my grandniece Sophie playing her violin and then a couple years later, her flute? Well, her little brother Noah, now nearly 10, is also a musician. This Christmas I snapped some photos of him playing his guitar and when I was trying to boot myself back to work in the studio […]

This summer Dennis and I were asked to participate in a project initiated by the Jefferson Nature Center in Medford called Shifting Patterns. Eleven artists attended an intense education on the subject of Climate Change and then were asked to respond with a piece of art. The intention was to possibly convey the subject in […]

Portrait of Dennis and Liam con’t
Thursday, March 24th, 2011
Here’s what happened today. This looks much more like Dennis, having shortened his jaw. The poka dots are from the photo but I kind of like them… hmmm… Values are looking good. Liam’s face was also too long. Checking against my reference I could see how the nose and mouth needed to be moved […]

Sarah
Tuesday, February 8th, 2011
Sarah was expecting her first baby to arrive in a week when I took this photo of her in her new hat at my daughter’s house. I thought it was interesting that after I got home I felt more compelled than usual to print out the photo and get going. I enjoyed communing with Sarah […]

My wonderous nine month old grandson arrived here on the 26th to stay while his parents are in Japan. Skype is a wonderous thing even when the connection falters. We will return him to Portland on the 3rd, have a nice reunion and come home on the sixth. THEN I will paint again. Until then […]

The Roses were a good warm-up; this week I’m on to the painting for my niece. I’m doing this from a photo which I will not post in its original form because it was taken about 8 yrs ago and one of my grand-nephews is not so happy about anyone seeing this image of him […]

October Roses
Thursday, October 7th, 2010
Look who is back in her studio! It was a short summer and a long fall, but enough is enough. It’s time to start painting again! I did the rough-out of a painting I’ve been promising my niece for about a decade but felt I needed a warm up before I could dive into it. […]

Our Home and Studio- the color
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
The next day I was excited to get some color on this canvas, but before we get started I want to show you my new glass pallet and color layout. The glass is an old bathroom shelf which is nice because it’s sturdy and has rounded edges. I backed it with kraft paper which is […]
