<\/a><\/p>\nBlonde Blue Eyes, oil, 24×18.<\/a>\u00a0 Long ago daughter Allison once said, “Dad, you don’t even know how to paint a caucasian.” This just to show myself I can.<\/p>\n Bow and Braid, oil on panel, 16×20.<\/a>\u00a0 Just a lovely profile with subtle flesh tones.<\/p>\n Commanding Presence, acrylic on canvas, 24×30.<\/a>\u00a0 It was the colors that attracted the buyer of this one.\u00a0 I did six more, smaller and on paper, as variations on a theme.<\/p>\n Earring Slender, oil on canvas, 42×19.<\/a>\u00a0She’s from tribal Viet Nam; the painting as much about the background brushwork as the gentle face.<\/p>\n Ethiopia Tea, oil on canvas, 24×24,<\/a>\u00a0a commission by a friend and collector (including my abstracts) and does mission work in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n Flamenco Motion, oil on canvas, 24×18,<\/a>\u00a0started as a demonstration in a “Loosen Up” workshop I gave last summer. It’s all about the action, and that energetic red.<\/p>\n Giving Life, oil on canvas, 22×18.<\/a>\u00a0 One of a series of four, commissioned by a friend from his own China photos, now hanging handsomely in Texas. (I love the blues in the face.)<\/p>\n Homeless Jesus, oil on canvas, 38×47<\/a>\u00a0 A commission.\u00a0 Shown on a previous blog, a very different painting for me, in color and all the rest, with much thought going into it before and during.\u00a0 And after.<\/p>\n In the Stream, oil on canvas, 18×24.<\/a>\u00a0The western theme is another favorite, at least when that spirit moves. This one painted over another (which is where that stream came from . . . and the reds).<\/p>\n Madrid, oil over acrylic on canvas, 54×41.<\/a>\u00a0 This one is big, hangs in our house, and keeps growing on me. Remember it started as an abstract and grew into a dancer in Madrid.<\/p>\n Blessed are the Meek, acrylic on canvas, 40×30.<\/a>\u00a0 You’ll remember this, one in series of nine. I have a talk I give with them I’ve done half a dozen times. So far.<\/p>\n Myanmar Age, oil on panel, 20×16.<\/a>\u00a0 I do these “just because.” Often they end up as gifts to mission organizations.\u00a0 This one, not yet.<\/p>\n Rain Comin’, oil on canvas, 12×24.<\/a>\u00a0 Again, I painted this one over an old one, which is where that yellow came from. Things just happen that way.<\/p>\n Red Ribbon, Nepal, oil on panel, 20×16.<\/a>\u00a0 Someone I never met was going to Nepal to do good. I said, “Take a painting with you,” and made this one for her.<\/p>\n Seeing the Future, oil on canvas, 28×21.<\/a>\u00a0 Actually I did this one, along with a series of similar, in 2016. But it was dull. This year I brightened it up (extremely).<\/p>\n Shell Seeker, oil on panel, 24×18.<\/a>\u00a0 This of a friend, who now lovingly owns it, in Pennsylvania, as a gift from her parents. (She seeks shells in Florida.)<\/p>\n Shoulder Glance, oil on panel, 16×20.<\/a>\u00a0 This will find an owner someday; meantime I’m quite intrigued with her (as she seems to be with me).<\/p>\n Still Hope, acrylic on canvas, 54×70.<\/a>\u00a0 A large piece, and pensive, part of a series for the sex traffic crisis. The other three not yet painted.<\/p>\n Thinking Back, oil on canvas, 27×45.<\/a>\u00a0 Who can resist these colors? Which reminds me, Anne and I have a trip scheduled to India in March. More such paintings after that?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
