Don't You Look at Me

I once saw my evil twin on a train in Italy - or someone else saw HIS evil twin on a train in Italy - it was a freaky experience. If it was a movie we would have fought each other - instead we just stared ... but anyway - here's David Boyce having a good look.

David Boyce - Museum Curator and Man of Many Scarves

Head Scratching

I'm showing work from as far back as 1999 as well as 2 pieces that are brand spanking new.

Opening Night

The opening at NBAM was last night. We has a great turn out despite the weather. This is a portrait I did of the museum's curator David Boyce - I finished it the day before with the aid of Gamblin's modern chemistry

All Mouth And No Trousers

I had a good time making this one but it took long enough - the painting measures 72" x 72" - oil,acrylic, and india ink on canvas. I'll get a better photo of it posted later

Younger Apprentice

Maks says he's ready for stretcher building if I would just give him a chance.

What's on the Easel Anyway?

A Strong Reaction

Not all my decisions go over well.

The Director's Chair

Kaz has really enjoyed watching the progress of a large painting I've been working on. I'm part of a group show at the New Bedford Art Museum opening on the 27th and this will be one of the few new pieces I'll be showing.

This will be the first in a new series of drawings. These will pretty much be about the dynamic between several of these tree cities - peace, prosperity, turmoil, war, destruction... although I'm sure other unexpected subjects will creep in as well.

Head Study - Wen LaBarre-Borowicz

Head Study
2005, oil on masonite, 8" x 10". This is actually a portrait of my wife Wen. She was 6 months pregnant at the time and now says it looks nothing like her. This approach to portraiture is a bit invasive but hopefully some honesty and integrity come through. An older Italian woman came into the gallery a few months back and noticed it. Without any knowledge of the subject she informed me that the woman in the painting was pregnant. She said this with complete confidence and I was very happy.
