And now, a few head studies:

Dave

Dave Larson and his wife, the artist Eve Larson, are good friends of mine. Dave is an athlete, a dancer, and the best-known artists' model in Austin.

Amy

A quick study

Vicky Smiling

Not many people can hold a smile through a whole portrait sitting, but she did.

Mandy

Some landscapes in Fredericksburg. . .

Homestead near Rocky Hill

This barn belongs to the house in "The Red Truck".

Pedernales Bluffs

From a slightly precarious spot, late in the day

San Antonio. . .

The Red Truck

A historic bed and breakfast near Fredericksburg

Mission Bells

A very quick study, late afternoon

Mission San Jose

and Austin.

City View

Early one morning

Skyline under Construction

Also from the park. The buildings are taller now.

Rocks in the Park

In the middle of the big field at Zilker Park

On the Edge

More cliffs. . .

On Barton Creek

This was painted a couple of years ago,

when we had a wet spring.

Old Bus

This old school bus belongs to another painter friend,

Pepe Plowman. She drove it from Philadelphia to New Mexico

and then to Texas. It's now retired and lives in her yard in Cedar Park.

Autumn Vineyard

This vineyard is next to Lake Travis. I hope there's

enough water in the lake this year to keep it alive.

Along the Cliffs

These cliffs are along the Colorado River at Redbud Isles.

I've shown a few of my paintings of people. (I've only just figured out how to add text.)

Now here are some small landscapes (more to come).

Mother and Child (detail)

Mother and Child

I photographed this mother and child in the park.

They were looking at the koi in the fishpond.

Julian at 14

Julian is the son of another artist who came to the group.

I'm sure he is a lot more grown up now.

Amy in Orange

Amy is the daughter of a friend and fellow painter, Ellen Willis.

You'll be seeing more pictures of her.

Austen

Stephanie

In Tune

This is Nathan. I'll have more pictures of him with his viola.

Artist's Light

First I'd like to show some of my paintings of people.

This one's from our Friday group, when we get together to paint.
