avigdor arikha


A friend just told me about this artist, who died just over a year ago.  He seemed like a fascinating artist and I'm excited to explore his work further.  I love finding new inspiration from artists with so much history in life.

I was so pleased  with the out come of this painting.  She looks so elegant that I had to find a good quote from a designer and this is what I found,
"fashion fades, style is eternal."
Yves St. Laurent

This painting is of one of my Russian photographers.  I love the way she captures the body and so thankful she is letting me use so many of her photos.

Dearest Darling

oil on wood
10.5x18"

This is a painting of my beautiful daughter.  I used to paint her quite often and found it so hard to part with the work that I haven't used her image for a long time, until my husband took this photo.  It took place on a very hot summer afternoon just before we went on a nice afternoon bike ride through Portland, a very nice memory.  If you have an image you'd like to capture in a painting please feel free to contact me.
