Gentleman Paintings
I have a thing for portraits. I have not had the courage to take a portrait drawing or painting class yet so I thought I'd give it a try on my own first. SOLD
Early Paintings
I finally started painting at home in 2009. My kitchen serves as my painting studio. These are my first attempts to paint at home with no instruction. SOLD
Classroom Paintings
After several years of thinking about it I finally decided to take an oil painting class in 2006. I was living in Boston at the time and was hoping to also meet some new people. I signed up for an adult education class in Harvard Square. I was fortunate to have an instructor that I loved. She was very encouraging to all of us. I was hooked.
After moving back to Chicago in 2007 I took an oil painting class at Lill Street Art Center in the Ravenswood neighborhood. Again, I was fortunate to have an instructor that I loved. I am sure I will continue to take classes there. They have a wonderful selection and offer classes for all skill levels.
This is one of the earliest paintings I did in my classes at Lill Street.
