Lori

10"x8" oil on canvas. Lori is the type of model that, when the painting is finished, you wonder if you have done her beauty justice. There seems to be a revealing pattern in my paintings. They seem to reveal an addictive personality. It would appear that I am addicted to painting portraits, gobbing on paint and carving it, moving my cools and warms around, still life set ups that look like little landscapes, struggles and challenges, etc. Oh yeah, let's not forget the most important painting addiction... cookies! Even the tension of a full day of grappling with a particularly challenging painting can be assuaged by a good batch of cookies hot out of the oven (notice the word "batch" - one or two just won't cut it - painting requires mass quantities!).
