Women, with Towel
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
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
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.

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