Letter to my Mother

Today is my Mother's birthday.  She would have been 86 years old.

Large Painting

I have been sick for the past few weeks.  Feeling lousy.

This is a large, 5 feet by 5 feet, painting I did a few months ago.   Thought I would try and get into the habit again of posting images.  Mostly what I have been doing lately is scanning pages from old and not-so-old sketchbooks into my Mac.   I had so little energy that was about all I could do.  Then I would fix them in Photoshop, make them oriented and sized properly, etc.

Today I tried to do some work and was so empty I had nothing, nothing to say.  Frustrating.  Got to keep fighting. 

Lucian's Irishman

This is a drawing I did after I saw some of Lucian Freud's etchings.  His etching line was exactly what I wanted  to get with my technical pens... I added the watercolor later.  for some reason I wanted him to be an Orangeman, not a catholic.

This is old drawing of mine but I was reminded of it because of the Freud show at MOMA.  I tried to get down to NY last week. Wasn't able to go.
