At the Helm


             11" x 14" Oil on canvas. 

Some of you may not know that I have 3 grown sons.  This painting is of my oldest son as he was captaining a 115 foot sightseeing vessel named the Star of the Northwest.  There are many boat tours that leave form our seaport town to view glaciers and to go whale watching in the Kenai Fjords National Park.    I am really happy with how this painting turned out.  I have never tried anything like this but knew I wanted to paint him in this way.  I took several photos of him and then used information from all of them to create this.

Simon






16" x 20"  Oil on panel.  

 This is my youngest son, Simon, and my first posting of a portrait.  I have a strong desire to paint portraits so hopefully I will do more.  This was painted from a photo that I had on my iPhone taken about four years ago.
