Portrait Paintings

I enjoy painting people, and I always work from life. Most of my portraits are head studies, and some of them displayed here were demonstrations while I was teaching.  Because I work from life, the sitter must be available to pose.  Usually the model poses at my storefront, but I can travel to teach or do a commission.  In 1992, I demonstrated portrait drawing for the Museum of Fine Art in Gifu, Japan. I included interiors in this section, and my favorite is the one of me, holding my daughter, and painting.   People often wonder how I managed to paint with 5 children...this is the answer.  The chicken was our pet, Hickety Pickety (I didn't think I should categorize her as a still life).  If you are interested in portraits or portrait classes, please contact me using the form on the contact  page.  Thanks.  K.
