"White Linen"

I've really been enjoying working on these small "portraits". Each are about 15x7 oil on linen (on board) and are taken from people around town. This guy was in the Folly Gras parade a month ago, and strolling down the street with his friend, also dressed in white linen.
I've also taken up stretching my own canvas, and have to say it is pure joy when you are done stretching, priming, sanding, priming, etc - and then get to paint on them. There is something wonderfully "old world" about starting from scratch, and I love the surface.

"Lunch Time"


"Lunch Time" was selected to participate in this year's Richeson75 Small Works Show, and just received Second Place. As I said before, I love that the figurative pieces have been selected for the few shows I've applied to. (Two more figurative pieces were also selected for the book, but not on the web site.) This is one of my favorite pieces, so glad "she" is out hanging in a gallery!
