  • I Painted Hannah Today by I Stare at People on Oct 27, 2009

    This is a studio painting that I just did from a photograph of Hannah.  She really did not want her mom to take her picture. Both her mom and I just loved the photo; we can all identify with the raw and stubborn posture. I just love the transparency...

  • I Painted Sophia in 90 Minutes by I Stare at People on Sep 21, 2009

    I wish that I would have done a better job on Sophia.  I’ve figured out what I did wrong – I cheated her on the right side (far side) of the face at the eye level. Please let me know what you think.

  • Detail of the Girl with the French Haircut at Flightpath Coffee by I Stare at People on Aug 14, 2009

    Would you like to hear a little about technique and decisions that I made as I did this painting? The walls at Flighpath Coffee are sunflower yellow. Why did I not portray this? Well, when I painted the man with dreadlocks the day before, I added in...

  • I Painted the Sad MiddleEasterner in San Raphael,Ca. by I Stare at People on Aug 11, 2009

    I’m not even going to pretend to know what was going through his mind. If he were native born, I could probably conjure up some explanations such as: poor screwed up SOB, had a fight with his wife on a beautiful afternoon, and had no where to g...
