Mother and Daughter

Clare's mother, Eileen, appeared serendipitously as I composed this. It seemed to fit with the theme of reflection.

Allison Reclining

Allison is lying on a sheepskin I bought at Costco. I was interested in the angularity of the arms in relation to the lines of the drapery. Also, the bird's-eye view is rare for me.

Clare with Gold Mask

As I continue to work on the Governor's portrait, I decided I would post a series of slightly older paintings which were done just before I began this blog. They are a bit larger than the blog paintings, and are mostly from 2009. The mask Clare is holding is actually a rather heavy plaster cast which I found at a yard sale.
