Portraits | Oil Paintings
THREE GENERATIONS
Despite not a post-1990 painting, it is presented here as appropriate to the category. The generational differences are most evident in the hands.
THE PILOT
The Artist's pride and joy, his grandson.
BRIAN'S MOTHER AND FRIENDS
A pair of lovable miniature dachshunds make for fast friendships.
LOUISE
The subject is clearly unhappy the dead palm fronds were not taken away.
SELF-PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN
The artist, a boxer in his youth, is shown dispatching an opponent after a difficult fight.
A striking (pun intended) example of dynamic portraiture.
THE ARTIST'S MOTHER AT 85
Again the painting does not fit time-wise but is appropriate category-wise. Always an avid reader, even after primitive cataract surgery of that time (hence the "coke bottle" glasses). She was a favorite of "Tiger" who was very protective of her. It could be said they aged together. He was 12 years.
MARK STEWART: 1989
It is of interest to note that this painting was completed entirely with Dr. Brown's left hand. His right hand and arm were incapacitated and in a cast due to thumb surgery. The painting was inspired by a cover story photo.
A DOG AND HIS ARTIST
No one in particular, just a dog training his busy artist to sit and point.
DAUGHTER, MOTHER & MACAW: KEY WEST SUNSET
After a busy day of shopping, it doesn't get any better than a relaxing tropical drink on the beach before a dinner of conch chowder and stone crabs.
HAPPINESS IS ICE CREAM!
Especially if it's, "All You Can Eat."
"RED"
The photo that inspired this painting shows "Red" in his red shirt:
A BROTHER AND TWO SISTERS
As the title says, "A Brother and Two Sisters".
