This is from this morning and I'm happy with it considering it took me 1 and 1/2 hrs. including set up and take down. In addition to a VERY inquisitive Yellow Jacket that kept returning to check on my progress, I was rapidly losing shade and, with the heat, I was afraid I'd end up featured on the menu of the local McD's. 9 X 12 oil on canvas

Seated Model
I was taken by the cool north light flooding my model's back. Unfortunately I wasn't able to completely avoid glare on all the brush strokes when I photographed the painting. If I were more patient and waited for it to dry, I think I'd be more successful. oil on canvas 9 X 12 Purchase for $250. unframed

The House That Grant Built
This was a wonderful morning! I painted at a friend's property. It was the most fun I've had by myself since I was a teenager. Lieutenant U. S. Grant built this spring house in 1854 (with help from a Mr. Snipes)! oil on canvas 9 X 12 Unavailable due to having been burnt in a gallery fire (along with about 15 others of my paintings).
