Portraits

Rachel at Home

watercolor, collage and ink

This Painting took 3 years to complete. I had big problems with the paint bleeding through the paper. I decided to collage some white rice paper on top of the entire surface and repainted the image. I finished it off by using black ink to bring out the design of the figure, wicker chair and other elements of the painting.

Rachel Straight On

watercolor

I love using my daughter, Rachel, for my model. I take advantage of her while she is home by photographing her in many different poses. I was intrigued by this image because the light was hitting her from both sides creating interesting shadows across her face.

Rachel with Candle II

watercolor and casein

I had painted this scene of Rachel once before and decided to paint it again only using a closer up view. I had fun playing with the strong shadows on Rachel's face. The addition of casein helped create silky elements, such as the candle, that enhance the transparent quality of the watercolor areas. This painting will not be at the "One Woman Exhibit" since it was just accepted into the Louisiana 36th Annual International Exhibit in New Orleans, LA.

Lit from North and South

watercolor

This painting of my daughter, Rachel, is a close up view from the same photo as the painting “Rachel Straight On”. I thought the composition could be stronger if I tightened up the scene. I used the actual interior as the background in this painting. The lighting effects on the figure are accentuated next to the softness of the out of focused background.

Reclining Figure

watercolor

This composition was painted during a figure drawing open studio. I kept the colors limited so the viewer would focus on the subject directly.

Roman Archway

watercolor

I sketched this scene while touring a small village high above a lake we ate lunch at one day. The sun was so bright that it created great shadow patterns across the road and up the side of the buildings.

Narni Courtyard

watercolor

I painted this while sitting outside a great smelling Italian bakery. People were walking by while I was seated on the sidewalk. They seemed surprised to come upon us painting what they thought of as a very ordinary scene. I found it charming.

Perugia, Italy

San Gimini Tower

watercolor

The group enjoyed the little hill top town of San Gimini that we went back a second day to paint. The park at the end of the main street was perfect for our group to paint from. This church tower really hit me as I was sitting on the sidewalk looking up at the sharp angle. The cobalt blue sky added to the drama of the lighting that day.

Porkorola Island, France

watercolor

During the Spain and France trip in the Autumn of 2004, the group took a boat to the island of Porkorola off the coast of France. Some of the group rode bikes on the island, some painted and some explored and sat in the sun along the beach. I sat on the beach to paint this little scene. The day was very special.

River Aspens

collage, ink, colored pencil and watercolor

Swimming into the Color

watercolor, collage and ink,

I enjoy painting from imagination or from memories. This painting came from a memory of painting along the San Juan River on a beautiful Autumn day in 2004. The small mountain lake was cool and brilliant with rich colors.

Open Water

I enjoy using the aspen trees as a strong design element in this painting. The strong textures of the collage papers helped to create a depth to the scene.

Pike River Rapids

This collage reflects the area along the Pike River outside Wausaukee, WI. We like to take walks with our friends the Beach’s who live along the river. It is a beautiful area that is untouched by civilization.

I love the old time tin canisters used for collecting the sap from the maple trees. This fall scene has a very tranquil quality to it. The quiet of the day adds a peaceful note.

Ghost Tree

watercolor and ink

I used cobb-webbing to create textures found in nature. Once the paint dried, I took the cobb-webbing off and started to paint into the textures to enhance the rocks and background area. Ink was used to enforce the design quality.

I love the trees along the California coast. They seem to have a personality different from our trees in the Mid-West. Trees growing out of sand intrigue me.

Blue Cypress

watercolor and ink

I painted this composition using a black and white photo. because of that, I could explore color in anyway I wanted. Somehow, the soft blue needed to be prominent in this painting.
