Mansardé en Cuivre

2017, Oil on Canvas, 20"x 20"

Started over two years ago, this is a painting, in a long line of paintings that I did not want to work on. It is a depiction of a building along Madison Square Park, in NYC, with a copper mansard roof and a lot of mythic adornment. I am by nature, a procrastinator. So every time I'd look at it and ask myself if I wanted to work on it, my answer was an emphatic, NO! I like however having painted it. There are many things that I love about this work, the intricacies, tone values, and color balance, forms and shadows. I do not however cherish my memories of working on it. It is the way of things detailed.

March, 2015. Shortly after beginning.

 Early June, 2017. Getting close. The painting was sold shortly after posting this image on Facebook.

Late June, 2017. Finished! After an all-nighter. Needing to frame and deliver the work later that day.

"Mansardé en Cuivre" (Mansard in Copper) is currently on exhibit at the Chambersburg Council for the Arts, in Chambersburg, PA until August 25, 2017.

Looking Down the East River

2017, Oil on Linen, 10"x 20"

This painting is of a view of the East River in NYC, as seen from the southern most tip of Roosevelt Island. I lived in New York for over twenty years but until I ventured there this past winter to take photographs I had never stepped foot there. I'm glad that I did. This painting will be part of an exhibit which opens later this month at the Chambersburg Council for the Arts, in downtown Chambersburg, PA. More info, including the date and time of the opening reception coming soon.

This is a painting of Zoe. She posed for a portrait class that I teach at the Council for the Arts in Chambersburg, PA. This is one that I started back in September and got 90% finished. She kept looking at me (her eyes were part of the 90%) pleading to have her arm completed.

This is a study for a larger piece. I was giving a lesson on hands and this was the final pose. I told my students that I wanted to tie it in to their previous portrait class but To tell the truth I just couldn't resist drawing Zoe's face one more time.

One of those "Lemonade" moments. This is what I came across on my way home from teaching last Tuesday.

Zoe is modeling for us at the portrait that I am teaching at the Council for the Arts in Chambersburg, PA. I wish that I could have spent more time on this, but those pesky students kept asking questions.
