This is my brother Daniel relaxing on Peaks Island, Maine, far removed from his life in L.A. For a subtitle, I could add "Waiting for a Lobster Dinner", which is what he's really doing.
I'm beginning to get more comfortable working from photographs, which sure expands my options for interesting subject matter. Also, I'm using the free photo editing software Gimp to help my paintings translate better to the computer screen. It never looks as rich as the original painting, but this is a big improvement. Thanks to my son Will for teaching me how to use Gimp!

Aaahhh, Peaks Island and lobster. Who could ask for more???
I'm going to google Gimp--see if it is an improvement over my Microsoft Digital Imaging--Your brother looks relaxed and patient.
The style here is so great; I really like the treatment.
I love how this painting looks so natural!
Each brushstroke is thoughtful, and creates such a wonderful portrait of your brother!
