"Nadine" 60" x 60" Oil on Masonite 1994.
I came across a book at a Library that had early American Tin Type photographs, it was on the subject of, The American History of Photography. The Photographs, many of them inspired me. I love antiquity, old time scenes and scenery. I painted several paintings based on these sepia toned,tin type photos, from the book. I enjoyed applying colors as a creative exercise. I am considered to be a Tonalist, in my approach to realism in painting, with color there is also tone, that being from light to dark. I was inspired by what appears to have been a huge family reunion. The romantic Riverboat and then there's a dog on a plank, humorous. Very much an inspired piece.
