First Bloom
Our "real Montana winter" continues, and therefore this little painting is wishful thinking at this point in time! The flowers depicted are Crocus, or Prairie Smoke, and are the first native flowers to peek through the mountain snow in the spring along the Divide. Their appearance always causes excitement, as they testify to the fact that winter will not last much longer. This painting is an oil, 12" x 16" and is sold.

Portrait of Hector
"Hector" was the first student portrait I finished for "The Many of Faces of Andover" project I am doing for Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. It is an oil, 24" x 30". Hector is from the Dominican Republic, and he intended to become an Engineer. He was introduced to fencing at Andover and loved it! He chose to model for me in that outfit. It was also important to Hector to have both the American and the Dominican flags represented in his portrait. www.andover.edu
