There’s something about the paintings in this post that just shouts of summer. Why seven? No reason; it just came out that way and gives a little rhyme to the title. The first four are on acrylic on paper, the final three are oil on canvas. All are “vague of face,” providing an intended\u00a0anonymity. The fact is, I know all the persons painted here, and took all the photos they were painted from.<\/p>\n

Mother Son<\/em>, acrylic on paper, 11.25 x 12<\/h6>\n

The mother featured here is our daughter Acacia, sitting with her two-year-old\u00a0Micah earlier this summer. What doesn’t show here is that she is also with child<\/em>. As of next week she’s due to deliver her fourth, another boy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mother Daughter<\/em>,\u00a0acrylic on paper, 11.25 x 12<\/h6>\n

Here’s Acacia again, with four-year-old Avery. As it happens, Anne is in Chicago right now to be of help around birthing time. Why Chicago? That’s where they moved some three years ago, from Seattle, to start a church, downtown. They love it, and are loved.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beach Walk, Left Hand<\/em>, acrylic on paper, 15 x 11.5<\/h6>\n

The beautiful model for this one is daughter-in-law Nicole. Originally of Canada, she lives with Hyatt IV in Palo Alto where he’s finishing his PhD and, with her, raising three . . . including here, little Kaiya.<\/p>\n

Again, the non-descript nature of these paintings is intentional. They’re made for a broader audience, suggesting a moment, a mood, a situation that could apply to many.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharon at\u00a0Bougainvillea<\/em>, oil on canvas, 30 x 24<\/h6>\n

The above and the following are not of a family member, but a friend. Sharon is a landscape architect, who also works as an artists model. I’ve made a number of paintings of her from life, then took a couple of hundred of digital photos for future paintings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharon at Glass Table<\/em>, oil on canvas, 18 x 24<\/h6>\n

Of the five paintings I’ve made of Sharon so far this is the only one where the setting is part of the “story.” It’s in our patio. I didn’t bother with the apple she was munching, but now I wonder, should I have?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharon in Contrasts<\/em>, oil on canvas,
\n18 x 24<\/h6>\n

It was the extreme contrast of the sunlight against the foliage behind that made the background so dark. It certainly influenced the painting. Maybe I should rename it, “Summer Night.”<\/p>\n

These are just some of the paintings that have come into being during these summer months, with more to come while the season runs.<\/p>\n
