'Contentment' pastel painting of a couple

'Contentment'                       8x10                sold

Near Boothbay Harbor, Maine, I noticed this contented couple gazing at the water. I knew instantly that they would become the subject for a painting. My challenge was to create a serene mood in the painting.  The purchaser of  'Contentment' said that the man looks just like her husband.  That makes me really happy to know that the painting has a special meaning to her.

Alaskan Gold Rush Guide

8" x 10"

This young lady appealed to me because of her 19th century clothing as a guide in the gold rush area of Skagway, Alaska. I left her skirt unfinished and focused more on her sweater, hair, and hat. I really enjoy drawing people and hope to paint more of them.
