Another Finished Portrait
I finished another portrait in oil painting in class this week, a commission from our baby-sitter Rachel. It is her two nephews and will be a gift for her brother. It was a lot of fun to do.
It's a toss up between portraits and still life. I really like doing both of them. It's landscapes that drive me to drink. I'm never happy with my landscapes.
With parents and grandparents a continent away (as well as just up the street), and friends the world over, it gets harder and harder to keep people up-to-date with what's going on in our lives and to keep up-to-date with everyone else's. We tried publishing a regular old-fashioned webpage, but as much as Steve enjoyed mucking around with the HTML, it really proved too cumbersome. If it can't be updated quickly, we found, it won't be updated at all.
And so the blog. The promised ease of updating gives us hope that we might just have a viable "web presence"! So here is our latest attempt at passing along pictures, stories and general nonsense.

Wow, Steve amazing work. What cute little boys! She must be thrilled!!
Do you like doing portraits more than still life work??
