Work in Progress

 
 
This is how it begins:  "Hannah with the Blue Hair," 5" x7", egg tempera.
  Building up thin layers with lines and glazing. 

Silverpoint: Art Imitating Life



"Sticks & Stones," silverpoint on panel, 8" x 8"  (Hands of my daughter and son)
 
 
Diptych: "Through the Grapevine," silverpoint, each panel 8" x 8".  Connecting nature with human nature.

A painting of my wonderful model, Meg.



"How Sweet the Air,"  egg tempera, mixed leaf, 8" x 8".  I wanted to convey the sense of air and breath mingling together. 

"In the Beginning," image for the 2016 Attleboro Art Museum Art Auction Announcement



This image was selected for the Attleboro Art Museum's Silver Anniversary Auction & Exhibit.
Egg tempera, palladium gold leaf, copper leaf. 

Another silverpoint



"Moonstruck," silverpoint with watercolor washes on prepared gesso paper.

I have been creating some silverpoint work, as it really it akin to egg tempera--very linear in approach.



"Intertwined," silverpoint on panel, 6" x 6".  I enjoy creating these intimate panels as a way of drawing the viewer in.   Private Collection.



 
 
"Caress," silverpoint on panel, 5" x 5".  Private Collection.
Again, the intimacy of human nature connecting with the earth.
