Exchange Of Views


This painting ready for framing is from a photo snapped last year in Puerto Vallarta.  Love the interaction between the three people, and the play of light which gives the scene a lovely natural feel.  I must admit it always seems a little creepy to take these shots even from quite a distance, but I endeavor to leave them somewhat faceless although I know they would imediately recognize themselves should they see the end product.  Probably result in a free painting for them if brought to task...ha!

Carol"s Cherries


This is a quick demo painting which I thoroughly enjoyed doing in my latest workshop based on a beautiful original by Carol Marine. (She generously gave me permission to show and sell this as it does not directly copy her work). It was later completed in my studio.  I was trying to convey a different style of drawing and brush work to my latest crop of students. Using quick straight strokes can simply convey a loose but accurate depiction of a subject without the fiddling and over detailing that seems to be a focus for a lot of beginners.
