Portrait Watercolor Finished!

Life in the FAST LANE has finished.

I worked again on this portrait to bring it to conclusion.  Here is the FINAL VERSION.


I like it now-- it reaches a new level for me.   It was good that I abandoned it for a few months.  I really became detached-- and didn't care what happened to it-- as long as reworking it taught me something.

I had a freedom when reworking it.....  and things progressed from there.

It's good to return to former paintings--- that are quite measuring up--- and bring about a different, more resolved statement.

GROWTH PORTRAITS accepted into ART PRIZE!!!

The GROWTH PORTRAIT SERIES has been accepted into ART PRIZE 2011 in Grand Rapids, MI this coming Sept.

I am thrilled and honored to be exhibiting them at the Fifth Third Bank/Warner Norcross & Judd LLP venue. Please look for the installation there.

And VOTE for me!!

The GROWTH SERIES is an ongoing project that chronicles the maturity of my son from birth to age 25. I have done a watercolor a year of him for the last 25 years.

It is a loving tribute to growth, childhood, maturity, parenting, children, art, and family.

Thank you so much Fifth Third Bank/Warner Norcross & Judd LLP for choosing me!
