Carolyn Anderson Workshop

I love the way she paints! Went to a workshop of hers in Fredericksburg TX a few years back and painted these. Oil on wood, 12x16, 16x20.

Crouching Girl

Still wet! This is 5x7". I'd love to handle paint like Milt Kobayashi. With only oil as a medium the paint goes on thickly and it's easier to blend edges. The trick is not to muddy the color.

More Acrylic Painting

I love the non-toxic nature of acrylics but the common wisdom is they're not as beautiful/deep/glowing/brilliant as oils. This one's from a photo I took on Galveston beach.

Portrait Painting


Here's a 15-minute head study of a male model with the craziest peroxide blond hair. It looked pink to me in the light so now it's part of my new "pink hair" series.

Done at Leslie Pierce's "Full Monty" session. Most of my 15-minute paintings end up getting wiped out or painted over.
