  • Portrait of Woman – 08

    Portrait of Woman 08
    54 x 65 cm/ 21 x 26 acrylics on canvas

  • Lonely Woman II

    I happened upon a street corner in Valencia where the idea of this painting occured to me. I modified the scene, chose my own lighting and color scheme and modified the architecture, and then placed the figure.

    This is another in my series of Edward Hopper inspired pieces. I was born in the town where he was born and lived, Nyack, NY (1882-1967). His wife Josephine Nivison was also an artist. She contributed to his work as a model and as an artist.

    This is another in my series of Hopperesque paintings. Hopper painted lonely scenes, even when there were multiple figures as there are here, much the same but seemingly unawares. Based on a scene I came across in Ghent, Belgium last summer, as I stood in a museum looking out the window.

    “Urk” is a port on the Ijsselmeer in the Netherlands. We visited it on our boat Viking in the summer of 2020.

    I write about it here:
