Here are three paintings I’ve started.  The drawings for the bottom two were recently finished. All three are in the under-painting stage. These deviate somewhat from the more strict under-painting demonstrated in the ‘The Call.’ In that painting, the under-painting is restricted to neutrals, whereas in these the local color (still well towards neutral, however)

Lately, I’ve spent nearly all my time drawing. The accompanying photo shows three canvases prepared and ready for painting. The finished ink drawings were covered by a thin varnish-based ground.  After the neutral-gray grounds are thoroughly dry (about a week), I will start painting them. The two larger paintings are 30″ x 40.” Here’s a

This large painting (6′ x 8′) is a pain to work on in my somewhat cramped studio. Don’t get me wrong, I love my studio overlooking the lake, but compared to my last studio in Indian Mills, NJ, it’s small. Large paintings like this one are difficult to move and store. One thing interesting about

Here’s a photo of paintings I’ve worked on during the past few days. The one on the upper-right–‘Woman in Wine-Colored Blouse’–is nearly done (knock wood!). The palette in the foreground contains an assortment of neutrals I use, along with several values of burnt sienna (for flesh).

Boating Season Underway on Lake Erie

Today was the first real day of the boating season. Pleasure boats and fishing boats dotted the lake as if it was midsummer. Here’s the view from the studio: After a painting session in the morning, my son John-Parker and I went to the slip where The Betty Jane is moored for the season. Here

Here’s a photo of ‘Lower East Side,’ a large (5′ x 6′) painting currently in progress. It’s about (roughly) my studio in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. It was before 9-11 so the World Trade Center still stood. I had a great view to lower Manhattan, as you can see from the detail through the window.

Here’s a photo of some recent work. The winter scene is from a terrific storm some years ago in Trenton/Princeton, NJ. Now that the weather is warming, I can bring myself to take up a winter subject. Behind the winter subject is the beginnings of a new painting. I’ve finished just a small portion of
