Jazz in the Park (even more hats)
About a year ago I started painting hats. We had been to an outdoor jazz concert in Victoria, B.C. on a sunny day and I began to notice that everyone had on a hat! I consider them portraits of a kind as each has it's own character.

I wanted to copy a portrait of a master to learn more about portraiture. Van Gogh being my favorite was a no brainer. Loved working with the chunks of paint.

Guatemala
These two paintings I painted from photos taken while the youth group from Grace Bible Church was working in Guatemala. I was drawn in by the joy of children running and playing in the midst of poverty. Sold both in the GBC auction for the next trip.
