Mockingbird was my very fist attempt at a direct painting. The challenge is getting the gesture of a person, place or thing in the first stroke or application of pigment with the brush. No pre-drawing. I love the challnege of capturing the essence of a subject this way. It doesn't always happen wth the first try....you'll see this in some later works. This piece sold to the director of a wildlife sanctuary in MA.
Quiescent was imspired by a family camping trip to Lake Umbagog in northern NH. As a family we made this trip several times. My daughter loved going there. The quietness and remote camping were welcomed by all three of us. Paddling and swimming were favorites, too. Quiescent sold to a collector in NH.
