I've been working on two paintings.  One is a self-portrait.  I'm using an old passport photo because the face, my face, is neutral looking (whatever that means), the light is good, and I didn't want to insult anyone.  Part way done with it--sort of impressionistic so far.  The other painting is of a scene in the Fairhaven District of Bellingham--a special place for me and my husband--ever hear of "Toad Hall"?  And I don't mean the one in "The Wind in the WIllows."  Lots of detail in this one.  I'll post it when I get it copied in a size where I can scan it (and when I'm done with it).
My favorite artists are Edward Gordon (Germany), Michael Parkes (Spokane), and Rene (Netherlands).
