Titian (ca. 1488-1576)

St. Margaret (c.1565)

Edouard S. Vuillard

Edward Hopper

My figure painting teacher told me today that the painting I am working on in class reminded him of Edward Hopper. So of course I had to come home and search him out to see what it is we have in common. His simple urban portrayals are interesting to me. I tend to simplify my figures. Here are some of my favorites:


The Sheridan Theatre


Chop Suey


New York Movie

Lisa Hubbert

"Dreaming of Summer Snapshot 2" (oil, 15 by 15 inches)

Lisa taught my drawing class last spring and I learned so much from her. I admire the colors and techniques she is using to get all these interesting forms.
