The Painting of the family just won third place at Art Works! I entitled it by the event--"Family Day." That is when I took the photograph. I did not go entirely by the photograph; actually, I changed many of the colors. Also, for purposes of the composition, I placed the little girl behind the rest of her family. It's kind of funny, but I have gotten to know the people at my church well enough that they can even make themselves out in the more loosely sketched figures in the back. I have their posture and profiles.

Here is a new painting. It does not have a name yet. Nor does the other. If you have any suggestions, e-mail me at seelosen@comcast.net.
