The Puppy 16"X20"


I love the idea of the vulnerability of the puppy and the young girl. I like the concept of one protecting the other. I continue my adventure in portraiture. Thanks for looking.

Sweet Girl 16"x20 NFS


I really enjoyed doing this painting. I'm having fun figuring out how to make things work in a portrait as I go along. I had to laugh as a friend said that she liked this as it wasn't filled with "all that teen angst" she says is predominant in my teen portraits so far. Lol. Thanks for looking. NFS

Pink Frost 16"x20"


So here is my 3rd in my set of teenage portraits. I had a lot of fun doing this. I know so many teenagers that love doing their nails and I really liked the idea. Thanks for looking.

Waiting Teenager 16"x20"


I'm going to call this one done. I wanted to try and capture the look of a teenager when they are told that they aren't going to get something immediately. I've seen it so many times, I think it is a universal expression for portraying their depth of dissatisfaction with the world at large. So, this is the 2nd in my teenage portraits completed. Thanks for looking. Onward and upward!
