Memories – I have memories of the past as I’m sure most of you do. .. I can visualize sitting in a chair and closing my eyes and remembering the past. Since I’m not interested in doing a self portrait I used my imagination, took some license with facial character, values and this is what I came up with. Your comments are welcome

Homeless Woman – I’ve put together another imaginary person from several of what appeared to be homeless subjects I observed last Saturday in mid town Sacramento, CA. The homeless, like Native Americans, have sometimes almost unimaginable character in their rugged faces. I love the challenge of capturing that character on canvas. This is also my first attempt at painting a person of African American decent. I tried to master the skin tones on another canvas prior to starting this painting. I’d be interested in your comments. Thanks.

Homeless Man – I’ve put together an imaginary man from several subjects I observed yesterday in mid town Sacramento, CA. The homeless, like Native Americans, have sometimes almost unimaginable character in their rugged faces. How to capture that character is the challenge. It’s easier with the homeless as I can just go downtown and look at them in person and watch how the bright sunlight from different angles changes their appearances. Some have so much sadness in their faces and others I have observed seem to be very happy. I’ll try painting a happy homeless face in the future. Your comments are welcome.

Anne Blackfeather – As an American Indian or she could be called Native American, she has tremendous character in her face. I attempted to show despair in a proud woman’s face. Hopefully I’ve achieved it. Your comments are encouraged and welcomed.

In The Light - Oil on 9 x 12 Canvas Panel

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

In the Light – There can be no doubt where the light is coming from in this work. Even though I made a major mistake when I started painting this one, I think it came out OK. If I’ve learned one good skill in the last year of painting it’s some good ways to recover from major mistakes. Well, let me know what you think. Your comments are welcome.

Nose to Nose - Oil on 9 x 12 Canvas Panel

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Nose to Nose – I did a similar painting a back in March of this year and it came out great. I thought the interplay of the subjects was priceless and decided to another. Your comments are welcome.
