Portrait of Carolyn as a Young Woman
This portrait is very light and ethereal, with a very unusual perspective for a portrait. I did this long ago, but I still like it and thought I'd share it with you!
It's 8½X11 in hard pencil.
Winston
So, Winston is a bloodhound rescued by my longtime friend, Bill Brehl who lives near Ottawa. He's a great guy and a rescuer of bloodhounds along with his wife, Andrea Brehl. They have 3 bloodhounds and assorted other pets. Bill took a picture of one of his bloodhounds, Winston, as he was staring out the window during a rainstorm. I was inspired by Bill's photo to do this acrylic painting of Winston. It was great fun to do. I've wanted to use the 'chiaroscuro' technique for some time and this painting demonstrates that (in my mind). It's 16X20 inches. It lives with Bill and Andrea.

Portraits like this one and the one of yourself from the past are truly priceless.
Much better than simple photographs.
