One of my very first...

crushes was on Laurence Olivier who starred in the Alfred Hitchcock movie, Rebecca. I first saw the movie when I was seven years old. It had such an affect on me that I could not stop thinking about it and had trouble falling asleep that night. The next morning I drew this picture of the cast of characters. In those days we didn't have hulu, dvds or even videos, if I had had a way to watch the movie again I might not have drawn pictures of it, trying to recapture the feeling the movie gave me.

Lou and Walt

Finally finishing up Lou and Walt's portrait! 24" x 36" oil -I'll replace with the final hopefully this week.

Black Ink Monotype

I have portraits to finish, I know, but it is important to try new things. This is my first black ink monotype print. I so enjoyed working on this today in Priscilla Treacy's workshop.
