Self Portrait 2014 - I get in and out of portrait painting every few years. This particular model is always handy. The mirror doesn't lie. 12 x 16 oil on board
My wife Sue - She posed for about 10 hours over a weekend to make this portrait. 12 x 18 pastel
Mindy - She heard I couldn't find a model and very kindly volunteered to pose for me. She is a climbing friend. 15 x 20 pastel
Dad 2014 - Dad had been asking me to come visit, so I brought my easel down and did his portrait. I had planned to paint him again oils, but I ran out of time. 15 x 20 pastel
Mick Flaaen - Mick is a former student. He works as a film maker and volunteered to pose. 15 x 20 pastel
Self Portrait 2011 - My first self portrait in a couple decades. 15 x 20 pastel
Self Portrait 2014 - I saw this guy in the mirror, it was my first oil painting in 43 years. The colors are all wrong, but somehow it works. 11 x 18 oil on board
Me in pencil - This started as a half hour lesson plan for a drawing class I was teaching in 2005. Two days later and 5 hours in I called it done.
Alice in blue - Alice is a friend, and also an artist herself. She volunteered to sit for a portrait. It can be hard to know when to call it done.
