Molly and Adam



My first born daughter was married this past weekend, so I thought that I would post recent portraits of the happy couple. Each painting measures 9 x 12 and was completed with oil on canvas. The one of Adam was done about 16 months ago as an in-class demo. The one of Molly was completed in my studio within the past 10 months. I think that I have painted my kids more than any other personal subject matter. When they were little, they would model for my many illustration assignments.
They really were good at it as they always seemed to be able to give me the gesture and expression that the assignment called for. I'll post some of those examples in the near future.
