Oaks Bottom 4
Yesterday I was able to walk out into it [Oaks Bottom] for the first time this year. The lake never did entirely disappear.

Figure Study
Occasionally I draw the figure, usually with a group but sometimes I`ll hire a model. This is a matter of high anxiety. The posing time is limited, the model will be comfortable just so long. The room is always too hot and it`s inescapable whether you get it right or not. There`s the model, there`s the drawing. I inevitably feel that I failed, I won`t even glance at them again for days. Then I get curious and look. Sometimes I`m surprised.

Columbia Slough Dusk
Another small landscape. These pieces on the Japanese plastic paper called Yupo involve watercolor, acrylic, crayon, gels and varnishes. It`s plastic, nothing is absorbed, so it requires a different approach, new techniques to get the paint to stick. I`ll have several of these at the first Portland Art Open this weekend.
