Maeve Sold / Private Collection 9 x 5 in. |
This is my first attempt at figurative work after years of doing landscapes.
Maeve is very loosely based on my grandmother. She was enigmatic for me growing
up, as she died before I was born. I only had the stories my father would tell.

John Mahoney 12 x 6 in. |
John is the second painting in what I guess is a bit of a series. He is my
husband's great grandfather. The name of the painting almost was
"Second Generation", a tribute to having thrived after coming from Ireland

Al 12 x 6 1/2 in. |
Al is one of two brothers who owned a shoe store in Iowa City.
Al scared me a little.

Presupposition 12 x 6 1/2 in. |
This wonderful woman came about as a result of a converstion about
prejudices and assumptions based solely on appearances.
Also, I want to live in that cottage one day.
