This is the finished portrait of Cate…the photo was taken Easter 09..!!! I took the opportunity while being snowed in, during the Blizzard of 2011..
to work on it….even though I say it’s finished I KNOW I will ‘tinker’ with it, until I put the paints away..or
the sun comes out! Thank you for taking the time to view my work!

This is a portrait I did of Cate when she was about 4 years of age..her dad, took the photo..that inspired me

My painting style is described as, Classical Academic painting in oils, in the Italian Renaissance Manner …I incorporates elements into my paintings like that of the old Masters. (I use a graph on my reference and canvas,
then a charcoal sketch on the canvas, step #2 an underpainting and finally an oil painting) I hope you enjoy my work, and thank you for your visit…

    Just wonderful with that touch of rim light on the left and eyes that could launch ships against Troy! Maybe you should just stay snowed in more often?

  • LOL…well Randy I told you after I saw your amazing pieces, I needed to get out of the kitchen…so I’m just trying to catch up to you!
    Thank you my friend…
