Last night was the opening of the first showing of my portraits and figure studies here in Florida. The last time I have had more than one or two of my paintings displayed was at least 35 years ago. Since my portraits are by commission and in private homes and public buildings all over the country, it is extremely difficult to gather enough of them together in one place for a show.

Needless to say, it was very gratifying to see even the small number of paintings on display.  Every time I see one of my paintings that I haven’t seen in a while, it brings back all the memories of the people and families I have gotten to know through the creation of their portrait. Each painting has a story behind it.

So in my future posts, I will tell you some of my favorites.

Until next time.
