Race Horses at Longchamp
Reproduction: E. Degas
Started and stopped and started and stopped on this one for at least 8 months. Had no idea that I would have such luck with painting the horses. And in an ornate, custom wood frame ... it looks really awesome.
Blue Ridge Backroads
From a photo I found. 11x14
Not for Sale
Santa Claus Advertising (1953)
Reproduction
This was a poster-size (newspaper?) print from 1953. I made my own improvements, as well as changing the year to 1962. Size was adjusted to fit a swap-out frame I have on a wall in my kitchen.

French Bistro
Reproduction: P.Picasso
Finding that Picasso did a LOT of work without twisting faces out of whack. This one is appx 8x13. I'll have to say that the "impressionism" in this one made it difficult at times to figure out what shapes were supposed to be. Custom ramed.

Dyed in the Wool
Scotland
Saw this watercolor on some obscure site, which had many local paintings and crafts. I gave it my best attempt using oils. I might say that a sheep's eye is rather difficult to make look right.

I went to Scotland about 20 years ago, and loved the area known as

"Lady with parasol and a small child"
Reproduction, A. Renoir PRIVATE COLLECTION
Commissioned. There are no less than 10 versions of this painting by Renoir, none are identical. The lady either looks aloof, content, hammered, or homicidal. I guess that why it's such a great work.
20x23". Oil on Panel.

Wickaninnish
"Having no one in front of him in the canoe"
14x14". Oil on paper/panel. I'm trying to learn how to paint portraits. And, it felt safer to paint some one that no one knew. Getting the likeness down is one thing, try to capture the soul is another.
