Izzy

The third of 9. This is a monochromatic painting that I was attempting to get a little looser with my approach, and allowing or creating waterspots. This approach is a result of influence from James Kirk. I am pleased with how it turned-out. Perminantly mounted on frame and waxed.

Madison

This is the second of 9 grandchildren that I plan to paint. Done with the same method as the others, on hot-press paper. This painting was not monochromatic however. I was pleased with the smile.

Emily on a Good Hair Day

This is the first of nine of my grandchildren that I am painting. This is a monochromatic painting on hot-press Arches paper. I built a 16"x20" wooden frame with a plywood surface, and stretched the paper perminantly on the frame. Then did to painting and waxed it with Dorlands Wax medium so that it is mounted without glass.

Self Portrait

This is a self Poitrait I did on Arches hot press paper from a photograph. I built a wooden frame, and perminantly mounted the paper on the frame. Then painted the poitrait, and waxed it with Dorlands Wax Medium. The finished product does not need a frame or glass, and is archival.
