CARMEL AND KENT, 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 50 cm CARMEL AND KENT, 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 50 cm 
I painted this yesterday and tidied it up this afternoon. It’s a challenge to paint two people in one sitting. Carmel and Kent are an inspiring couple who have been so supportive to me in recent times. They’ve shown the real picture of a strong marriage.

THE LAKE, 1976, oil on canvas and wood. 183 x 153 THE LAKE, 1976, oil on canvas and wood. 183 x 153 plus additional cut-outs.
This morning I was contacted through my website, by an old friend that I haven’t heard from in decades. I knew him when I lived in Manhattan. I forgot he had this painting of mine from 1976. He purchased it in 1982. This painting was done when I was on a residency in Skowhegan, Maine in the summer of the American Bicentennial. I was experimenting with adding pieces off the canvas. My friend has had this painting for forty years! Life is interesting isn’t it!
Thank You Bill!
