    Women, with Towel shows another in the mirror.  A third appears in outline, derived from the Portrait of a Young Woman, recently attributed to Leonardo.  Her outline is done with a water color pencil, otherwise the work is acrylics.  The background is applied with a knife.  Original and prints.

    Panamanian Woman as Goth

    This is another version of my Panamanian friend.  She was one of our Spanish teachers – they called them facilitators as they did not do formal teaching as much as immersion.  Always friendly and in a great mood.  It was only in the past year I learned she had trained as a model and was so good in front of a camera.

  • Panamanian Women in Multi Color

    Panamanian Women in Multi Color

    This is another version of my Panamanian friend.   The background is inspired by František Kupka’s Mme Kupka (1910).  He was a Czech artist and she his wife.  I saw the painting at the Nieu Gallery in NYC, at a special exhibit that included some of Klimt’s famous paintings.

  • Panamanian Woman II

    This is another version of Panamanian Woman.  I got to know my Panamanian friend when we lived in Panama when we were in the Peace Corps.  We lived and worked in the mountains and got to know quite a few people in that coffee producing community.

  • Portrait of Panamanian Woman

    She has become a diva for me.  I knew her in Panama.   She has a knack for modeling, which aside from being intelligent, friendly and attractive, makes her a delight to paint and draw.  I have several other paintings based on her.

    This is just a totally made up portrait. Pen lines, acrylic paints and washes make up the painting.
