New Work

Self-portrait. 20x16 Oil on canvas panel It's simply amazing what you can do with a hand-held mirror.

Aha!

( My first plein aire ) After the Rain Oils 16x20 July 2008 Today I joined the American Artists community. While I was writing my hellos something occurred to me. It was only early last year that I started painting outdoors (en plein aire) It didn't seem such a short time. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my art. I've done many paintings that I don't show because I am not satisfied with the quality. I am sometimes very hard on myself because I feel like I should be somewhere else and I'm not there.
