Sempri fi Painting - Copy

Semper Fi is now finished.  This picture was taken during the protest of the proposed mosque at the foot of the World Trade Center in NYC.

We saw many veterans there, but this man really caught my eye… I call this “Semper Fi.”

I’m in the final stages of the a painting.  This is where “the rubber meets the road”  and the paint meets the paper.

In this stage, the intricate details come into play and will either make or break the painting.

The reflections of the cars are like jewels and offset the massive overpass, creating a delicate balance.

Rosemarie H. Harding Memorial AWARD OF EXCELLENCE

Raymond's on Church St.
Raymond’s on Church Street was especially wonderful to paint since it brought back
memories of visiting Paris with Valerie over 20 years ago.  The late afternoon sunlight
coming through the trees and casting those beautiful shadows was very captivating
and inspirational.  I am grateful for the acknowledgement of the piece by my fellow
artists at the NJ Pastel Society.
