In the late 1970s, I completed several college courses before I went back to work.

During those years, I managed to complete these paintings  using family photographs as a model.

  16 x 20 oil on canvas, 1980

I created this painting of my daughter Susan, using an old photo of her as a model. The background is one that I imagined.

Even though the tree branch appears slightly disconnected, and the image a bit awkward, I enjoy the painting.

I think it is somewhat funny in a quirky way.

 My older brother, who enjoyed many years of  sailing  to the Islands on Massachusetts Bay, also enjoyed photography. 

The two paintings shown below originated from photos that he gave to me.

9 x 12 oil on canvas, 1980

12 x 18 oil on canvas, 1984

  9 x 12 acrylic on canvas, 2003

This painting is derived from a photo that I took in 1987, when I lived in Massachusetts.

 This painting is inspired by a black and white photo that I took of our backyard in Massachusetts in 1963.
