People and portraits
Pegs in the Night Cafe
My wife Peg is in the Night Cafe in Arles, France, made famous by Van Gogh. Original digital painting.
Woman (With Red Lips) Walks Dog
The original drawing is in pen and ink, below. With Red Lips is the same drawing but painted digitally.
Carol — 1954-2018 (Version 2)
My previous painting of Carol was in watercolor whose shimmering qualities gives a kind of what one might call a ‘spirit shimmer.’ This rendition tells more about her fiery qualities, her strength, her defiance.
Hungarian Woman II
Hungarian Woman II was created from Hungarian Woman (http://www.garyjkirkpatrick.com/hungarian-woman/. Using a high quality photo imported into a drawing program (GNU), I can then work on it with a Wacom drawing tablet.
A Storm Brews
Peg and Sari
A Fauvish and expressionistic piece about the close relationship between the women. The visual weight of the red hair flows into the complements of yellow and blue, grounding the composition. Free flowing strokes and strong colors.
