The Yellow Dress (2025)


 

                       The Yellow Dress
                       Oil on canvas
                       48 inches by 24 inches (122 cm by 61 cm)
                       Completed on 27 July 2025


Look at those golden hues! After completing The White Dress earlier this year, I wanted to paint a yellow dress and combed the thrift stores until I found this satiny, jeweled formal gown. For the pose, I turned to John Singer Sergeant's Madame X, which was one of the highlights of my visit to the Met in New York in June 2023. 

This canvas isn't small but it's only the warm-up for the life-sized version that I'm going paint over the coming months. Stay tuned!

    Great article! I completely agree that a well-chosen canvas painting can completely transform a room. I’ve recently explored Vibecrafts’ collection, and they have some amazing modern and traditional designs that really stand out. Worth checking out!

Esquisse, paysage d'Arriege (2025)

Image
                 Oil on canvas                16 inches by 20 inches (41 cm by 51 cm) In August 2001, I spent a few days in a farm house in the tiny village of Brie, in the Arriege department in southwestern France. (It's not the Brie - the place where the cheese comes from is far away, in the northeast of the country.) This was the view from the front yard. Since I started painting, I've made a lot of copies of French impressionist landscapes; it wasn't until recently that I remembered that I had a French landscape of my own, tucked away in my photo album from the trip.
