About The Artist

My photo
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Hello! I am a fine arts painter, with a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My primary painting medium is oil and alkyd, and mostly I work in a representational style. My greatest challenge as a painter is to capture the effect of light; and my greatest joy as a painter is to accomplish that. Many thanks to those readers who have been following this blog since Day 1 (May 19, 2008). To those who are visiting for the first time today...Welcome, and thanks for dropping by!

Painting the greens today...

"Summer Hollyhocks" 2019, WIP, 12x12 oil on gessoed panel
I had the most beautiful hollyhocks growing my yard this summer, in a variety of colors: white, pink, red, and deep deep crimson. I took hundreds of photos—more than I'll every have time to paint!

Today's post shows my first painting underway inspired by these beauties. Today I'm roughing in the various green hues. Next will be the reds. There is more to come....

Thanks for taking a look.
