girl at large

I like to write about life when you have a job, some kids, a fixer upper and a fatal disease.

  • Evening Windows, acrylic and pastel on paper, 20" x 20" i've posted quite a few new pieces recently, visit the girl at large gallery here. any last minute requests from the States, let me know now and i'll throw it in my suitcase!

  • Horizon/Harbor/Bicyclist at the Port. (click on titles for more details in the GALLERY) finally back at it! completed these three the past few days in Cannes…nice light to work with in that front room and i finagled the digicam from Mom for these shots. "Harbor" is more abstracted than most i've previously done (it still…

  • Rue Docteur Rostan After Rain, acrylic and charcoal on board, 21" x 25.5" finished, much better photo. i quite like it, despite the 'funny gray'.

  • working on this one, as yet unfinished..and currently horrendously photographed..sorry. will complete tomorrow and take a natural light shot..just want to assuage my guilt over not having painted more this past two weeks by getting something up!

  • More Boats Right, acrylic on linen, 20" x 59" finished up the companion piece to More Boats today..they could be hung separately of course, but i imagine them side by side for a panoramic-style view of part of the port. i'm really enjoying working on canvas, but i need more room. i think 59" long…

  • i was able to see one of my pieces framed (and nearly hung) for the first time last night (aside from grade-school doodles that mom dutifully framed over the years). very exciting. Miss Liz had Heavy Skies framed really nicely, floated in glass. it had surprised me that that was the one she was besotted…
