Sun Bathers

Sun Bathers  6x6 oil on museum board


There's a beautiful park near my house that overlooks
the rocky Maltese shore. There is always something interesting
to paint there. I meet there with a friend to paint every week.
It's become a joke with us that whatever I choose to paint
moves almost immediately. I definitely need to
paint faster!

Strollin'

Strollin' 5x7 oil on museum board


Is this gentleman the quintessentially British chap or what?
Even my British friends say so.
I loved his character as I saw him strolling along the
seafront and he politely posed for me to
snap his photo.

Artistically I was worried that he would look
too stiff in the the painting, being so
proper and everything, but
I think I lost enough edges in the process to
keep it from being too ridged.

What do you think?

Shufflin' Along

Shufflin' Along  5x7 oil on board


I loved the character of the old fellow
shuffling along the seafront in the Maltese sunshine.
Keep on keeping on! 
Remember that expression? You know

We're as young as we think;)
