There have been many exciting moments in my life, but when yesterday's email brought the online edition of American Art Collector ....well. It was right up there at the very top!

Now is the time to thank the  generous artists who have helped me along the way. So thank you, Kelly Kirk, Bert Seabourn, Scott Mattlin and all the others who have contributed to this exciting and very satisfying journey.

Thank you to Laurie Pace who made this article happen and who designed my ad that also appears in this edition.

Please excuse me now, I have to go paint!

Eva, An Oil Portrait

This precious child is the granddaughter of my cousin and the great granddaughter of a beloved aunt who passed away last year. I thought a lot about my aunt as I was painting and could visualize her exclamations of delight and the way she moved her hands when something pleased her. I have to believe that she would have been pleased with this painting.
I introduced some new paint to my palette with this. Transparent orange, transparent red and transparent brown oxide all create some interesting effects when mixed with other pigments.
