The Plunge

8 x 8 Oil on Gessobord

SOLD

This painting isn't as greenish as it appears here, so I will have to take another picture of it.  These two beautiful girls were here visiting us and had a perfect weekend, weather wise, to "play" at the lake.  It was a great opportunity for me to get subjects to paint.  Plus, they were a joy to spend time with...More to come :-)

The Ballet Recital

8 x 8 Oil on Gessobord

Getting young ballerinas to be in sync and all on the same page must be extremely hard, and I would imagine the person in control must have lots of patience...or must have a good therapist :-)

Cowboy Boots and Short Shorts

8 x 10 Oil on Arches Oil Paper

I was doing an outdoor art show and these two teen girls strolled by in their boots and shorts.  I'm relatively sure they coordinated their outfits before leaving for the day. I'm always amazed that kids (and perhaps some adults) think they are being so original...exactly like everyone else.  During the 60's (Yes, I'm dating myself), my "original" uniform was faded, ripped jeans, tie-dyed everything, straight long hair (a la Mary of Peter, and Paul fame) and sandals, even though my  feet were freezing in the winter :-), or black tights and black short skirts for dress...That's what pretty much everyone wore in the Village in New York.  Yes, originality at it's best...OK..I'm really feeling old now!
