Last week's portrait sketch.

Laughing gulls in surf oil 24 x 36''

My latest painting shows laughing Gulls in Surf, suitably titled Laughing gulls in Surf! I must come up with a better title! Taking Paula's good advice I refuse to apologize for another wave/gull painting. I have so much fun painting the ocean!

I went along to a portrait group last night. We had a great model called Bray who wore a Victorian dress So much fun to paint!

"Snowy in the surf" oil 12 x 9

I apologize for yet another Snowy egret, but he was rather gorgeous, and I keep getting asked to paint him.

Teaching in Easton

I will be teaching a life painting class at the Art Academy in Easton MD in early January. It's been a couple of years since I taught, and I'm very excited at the prospect. I will be teaching in oils, I just hope I can come up with enough models!

The Lovers. 12 x 16 oil

The late afternoon light was soft and mellow, the perfect setting for a romantic sail. Normally the skipjack is crammed with tourists, but on this occasion it was just the captain and this couple. I wonder If he proposed before the sun dipped behind the trees.
