OPC George finished!

I told you back in October that I was starting the series OPC: other peoples children.
Well here is the first, and largest, painting finished today.

This little guy lives by the ocean in Maine. Being a Midwesterner I've never seen the ocean. But I loved the photo his parents posted & had to paint it. Thanks for sharing the ocean with me little man.

Winter Break 2017

Last week I took half days at work then went to Garfield Park Conservatory to paint. It's like having a private studio in a public garden. I was the only artist there. The kids are super polite and super curious. I got messy. I forced myself to paint fast as if it was a "plein air" competition. Mostly I had a lot of fun.
