Katie and Glen




Katie was Cindy's first friend in Jacksonville and has been her best friend all the way through. We have eaten dinners with them on a regular basis. They are good people.

I captured Glen almost exactly in his portrait. It took me less than 30 minutes of sketching before I was ready to start painting him. Katie was somewhat more difficult and is still off, but I wasn't able to figure out how to correct it. Ah, well, some you win, some you don't.

Phil and Deb



From a portrait sent by Deb at Christmas time a few years ago. Close enough to recognize them, far enough away to know there still is room for improvement.



Looking upriver on Julington Creek in Jacksonville, FL. My magnum opus, so far.
