Wallowa

Finished.

For the Lake Oswego Chronicle invitational show this summer I'm doing a painting of Kate Power and Steve Einhorn singing in the sunshine at Wallowa Lake. This was a magical day last September during Cycle Oregon, and the painting's title is borrowed from a song of theirs. I'm listening to their cd "Brick and Mortar" while I'm painting (thanks for the cd, Dad).

The exhibit is June 26-28 in Lake Oswego.

Portrait of Maddie

The Rehearsal

This painting was done live at (and to benefit) the Multnomah Arts Center auction. The initial charcoal sketch is about 8x10 inches. In-progress photos were taken during the hour and a half painting session. I would like to thank my support staff: Becky for taking photos, Bill for bringing me drinks, and everyone who stopped by to ask if it was paint-by-number.

Sunday Morning, 36 degrees

Here's the sketch I did at the Starbucks at 2nd and Taylor, and the painting I did from the sketch. The painting is on display at Broderick Gallery, 814 SW First Avenue, during the month of February.

Age five. When she saw this painting she said, "It's cute. I want that dress."

Work in progress

This is a portrait of 18-year-old Alex, who likes milk and computer games and is calm amid chaos. It's not finished yet.
