Catch it if you are in town! It is not be missed. Painting at it's finest.

This painting of mine has absolutely nothing to do with the show but I did have a grand time painting this sitter from life in two sittings this month with the headpiece Patrick, the sitter, brought in from his collection. Patrick is of Native American heritage so that was kinda cool to capture.
My experimentation with this large format via palette knife continues. I am happy to announce my "Pink Pussy Hat" portrait, see previous post, will be in a show at the Museum of Ventura County in March. Stay tuned.

Wonderful - so full of life.
I don't think that the American West get's the recognition it deserves in Europe
Watching you leads me to think that getting the eyes right (and the mouth, comes to that) is all important ... the rest follows.
Thank you. Yes, John, the eyes I do first, then work out. The eyes are everything to me and it is often all I get done in the first life sitting of these large format paintings.
