AMOIRE & CHAIRS

This is an interior scene which is very special to me.  I stay here when painting Mendocino with a friend.  We usually stay about a week and since it usually rains some of the days interiors get painted often.  The ambiance is charming....antiquated...somewhere between antiques and hippy decor.

"FIGURE IN WHITE"

This is a sweet model who was expecting here first child.  It measures approximately 10 x 7 inches.  It is matted and will fit into a 14 x 11 standard sized frame. 

THREE SMALL WATERCOLOR STUDIES

I painted these small studies to warm up to watercolor after painting for quite a while in oil.  It's necessary because the thinking and approach is quite different between the two mediums.  After painting a bunch of small ones I then felt confident enough to tackle a big watercolor.
