LIBERTAD (LIBERTY)


Hello to all -- here is my latest oil painting done on canvas which can be hung with or without a frame. These two horses cavorting in the surf take me back to a time when I was horse-crazy in my youth when I would draw horses unendingly with all the passion I had for these lovely creatures. It's a feeling I've never quite departed from.
This measures 40 x 24 inches. Anyone interested in purchasing can contact me here. $250.00 + shipping.

REGATTA




Hello ... I recently worked on this project for a client who requested a painting of a regatta ... he had a photo and wanted it converted to an oil painting for his new home, still in construction. So I worked studiously every day for 5-6 hours amidst all the workers, noise (buzz saws!) and flying debris (dust galore!), sometimes on a scaffold to reach the higher aspects, and completed the entire project within 8 days. Not bad.

These photos show the work in it's entirety, a shot with me in it (in my grubby painting garb) to show the scale of the work, and some detail shots for a closer inspection.
