Portrait of Charlie 8"x10" Oil on Canvas 1 of 7 grandchildren, portraits commissioned by Grandparents. I like the way this portrait came out, it is smooth and has the softness of a watercolor. I used several layers of gesso and sanded the very smooth. for the first layer I painted the entire portrait with one tone of very thin and burnt Umber. After that was completely dry I did the next layer with slow drying oil paint. I did not blend any of the strokes until the entire canvas was covered with swatches of wet paint. I added the details with layers of glazing. #art #artist #artists #artistsoninstagram #arts_promote #artselect_ #art_supernova#artlovers #artshare #artistslife #artshow #portraitgallery #portraitsociety #artforsale #artistsoninstagram

Marilyn Monroe. I painted this as part of my celebrity portraits series. I did the series because I am one of those people who gets excited about celebrities. My kids work in NYC. It's no big deal for them but I love hearing about their celebrity encounters. It's no fun telling people who just don't care so if you have a good celebrity story you can tell me. . . . #celebritybuff #celebrity #celebrityportrait (at Falmouth, Massachusetts)

Oil Painting of Milan Lucic 24x36. This painting I did of Milan Lucic is part of the New England Sports Museum Collection at TD North, Boston Garde. Lucic is now on the Edmonton Oilers but when he was playing in Boston I stood outside of the Garden waiting for him in the freezing cold and snow. He was very kind and friendly. I had a white oil paint marker and he used it to autograph the original painting. He said he liked it because it made him look better than he is. . . . #painting #oilportrait #oilpainting #celebrity #celebritypotrait (at Boston, Massachusetts)

Daughter of Boit after Sargent, 8x10 Oil on Canvas, sold. John Singer Sargent is my all time favorite artist. His huge oil painting of his three daughters at the Museum of Fine Arts has fascinated me since I was a young girl. I painted separate small oils of each of the daughters. I especially love the little girl sitting with her doll on the rug. . . . #johnsingersargent #oilportrait #oilpainting (at Boston, Massachusetts)

Tattered Hat, After, Thomas Sully, 6"x 8" Oil on Canvas. Sold this week at Discover Quincy's Pop up Shop, Hancock Street, Quincy, Massachusetts. Children are my favorite subjects to paint. I used to go to the museum of Fine Arts in Boston when I was young and stare at the paintings for hours. Paintings with children are the most captivating. Color is my drug of choice and the soft transition of color glowing within the shadow side of this portrait is intoxicating. . . . # (at Quincy, Massachusetts)
