Sunday Afternoon

I painted this several months ago and consider it one of my better efforts in small painting. After languishing in two galleries, a friend came to its rescue. oil 9 X 12 SOLD

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

Show Cars

I'm curating a show at CAG next month that centers around transportation. This painting is of a small corner of a field where antiques, rods and unique cars were displayed last summer at the Western Antique Airplane and Auto Museum in Hood River, OR oil 9 X 12 NFS

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).

Catherine's View

Painting at Catherine Creek the other day was as good an experience as one can get painting. Good day, good view, good friend. oil on canvas 8 X 12 NFS until August

Green Light

To revive my interest in our regular portrait sessions I brought in a reflector fitted with a green light and placed it on the opposite side of our model from the main light. No one objected; in fact, a couple of people didn't even notice until I pointed it out. Next time I'll hang a dark cloth as background. 11 X 14 oil on linen NFS

Bridge at Husum

I recently uncovered this older "on location" painting of a bridge in Southern Washington. It can be a little discouraging when you don't feel you're making much progress. 12 X 16 oil on canvas. Purchase for $380 unframed

Queens in my Backyard

After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back (hopefully). Considered a weed by most, I love dandelions, both in flower and gone to seed. This, at least, is the excuse I use to delay mowing my backyard. oil on canvas 12 X 8. Purchase unframed for $150.

Black Lace

I photographed this model 40 years ago. I painted this painting today. oil on canvas 8 X 10 Purchase for $160 unframed

Umpqua

Here's the latest painting that I'm preparing for my May show at Roz Gallery, a local gallery here in the Columbia Gorge. oil 16 X 20 NFS (until the show)

Ken Again

This is another one done in our Friday morning portrait sessions. The background is an experiment with a new (for me) technique and probably somewhat too busy. oil 12 X 16 NFS

Rubber Band

I noticed this rubber band sitting on my bathroom counter and thought the looping shapes and shadows were pretty interesting. 11 X14 oil Purchase for $300 unframed

Laura

This was done last Friday in our portrait painting group. I was intrigued by the color contrast between her sweater and the yellow-green background. oil 12 X 16 NFS

Door Knob

This is on the door between my kitchen and laundry room. One said there is a little problem with the perspective, and one said he didn't see any problem. What do you think? oil on canvas 10 X 8. Purchase for $120 unframed.

Kathy Reading

Kathy was our model for our portrait session Friday before last. oil 12 X 16 NFS
