Here is a photo of some of the recent work. The large painting (‘Two Cakes,’ 48″ x 48″) is nearly done–I hope! This photo, by the way, was taken with my new Nikon D5200. It was high time I upgraded my camera. I am going to replace some of the awful photos in the gallery.

According to the papers, that is. The upshot is the boating season here on Lake Erie has been slow to start. We were going to finish getting The Betty Jane ready for launching today but the rain will delay us. We aren’t the only ones affected by the cold, damp weather. Most of these shrink-wrapped

Yep. We had a twenty-minute white-out squall yesterday morning, April 20th! Granted, all the snow was gone by the afternoon, but this is the latest I remember it snowing. And today it’s windy and COLD! Even Buddy, our Silky Terrier, was hesitant to approach the shore. Here he is screwing up his courage to walk

Some of today’s work: ‘Grandfather’ is large by my recent standards–40″ x 60″. The drawing was transferred using a grid. When the drawing was done, I inked it, that is, I went over it with India ink. Then I  covered the surface with an thin tone of  raw umber and lead white. For larger paintings

Here is a batch of some recent work. The large painting–‘The Conversation’–is 66″ high. It’s not far from being finished (knock wood). The smaller paintings are Betty Jane paintings, that is, paintings of people aboard my boat–The Betty Jane. They are also examples of paintings on canvas board. Treated properly, canvas board can be as

I got a little work done this morning (got up at 5:00) then again after church at St. Mary’s. Worked on the three in this photo, plus one or two others. All have the cheap lawn chair I frequently use. Its shape is always fun to paint. The larger is 36″ x 48″. Started the
