One of my latest Vintage Women portraits

This is a portrait of Carroll McGomas in 1905. McComas began acting while still in her teens, playing more than two dozen roles on the Broadway stage. The original is 8x24 and is for sale for $300. Prints are available at Prints.

Happy Mother's Day

I'm celebrating my mother by sharing a painting I did of her recently.  She is 18 here. She passed in 2012 at the age of 83. Miss you Mom!!

Allergies

Allergies are completely knocking me out this year. Whew! 🤧

Travel

I haven't been traveling for awhile but hope to get back on the road soon, even if it means short 2 to 3 day trips. I'm using this isolation period to figure the best way to get back out on the road. I've been following lots of folks who car camp in their Prius,  which I happen to own one. This does appeal to me. As I make decisions about it, I'll keep you informed. 

BTW, the photo above is a painting I did that makes me yearn for the coast. That's the 1st place I'll head as soon as the isolation is over with.

Back with a new blog.

It's been awhile since I published a new blog and lots has happened. I am back in Ashland, creating art and working part- time. Well, at least I was until the coronavirus happened. Anyway, we are pretty much in the same boat as far as isolation goes, although I am fortunate that I have a studio and can paint my time away. I'll be posting paintings I've been working on and show you the portraiture that I have been learning how to do.

This painting is of Helen Keller. You can find prints of this portrait at: Helen Keller

BTW, this is a new blog and the old one can be found under Past Blog on the menu under Blog.
