Greetings From the Snow

Spending the holidays in the snow, and am actually getting more small paintings done here than at home. That's a good thing since I will soon be moving up here!

Head Study of Brian

My granddaughter wanted to give a small oil painting to a dear friend who lost her brother Brian several months ago. We searched through many photos posted on line on Facebook pages, and finally came up with this one of Brian in his football uniform on the field for a reference. I especially liked that he was bathed in sunlight, and tried to capture that in this little 6 x 8 oil. We later found out that this shot was a family favorite, so it was a good choice.

The In-Laws

My daughter's friend asked me to paint this 8 x 10 oil of her in-laws for a Christmas present. My reference photo was from their wedding, but I made requested changes to clothing color and cropped the image.
