This is a huge departure for me…I have never painted the human form and although I like the idea, I’m not totally thrilled with the results….yet. I am also having a hard time photographing my particular style of painting. The blended brushstrokes loose their texture in the photo and in person, they reflect light differently. There is more depth and detail.

Boo is the Dad and a really good one. He loves his children.

Nothing more needs to be said…..

Just a calming moment.

Another attempt at revisiting my Grandmother Ann Mittleman’s style of painting. Her painting is similiar and my inspiration on a daily basis.

Another subtle river flowing thru a color blended landscape. Sadly this photo does not translate the detail on the horizon to the soft blending in the foreground. In reality, the opposite would occur.

This is my fourth painting in four days. The output from my new space has drastically increased. Now I need more canvases and material for framing.

A small oil painting done just for fun and to relax my creative muscles.

Inspired by one of my favorite artists… Claude Monet.
