10"x10", oil on canvas, from a watercolor painting. Not working from life leaves so many blank spaces. The relatively quick drying watercolors rely on details that I cannot achieve in oil with my impatient demeanor. So I growl and fuss and stand stumped at my easel. I think last one worked out because I did it in a few sittings, letting it dry in between. The watercolor original for this paitning is featured along with me in an article, "A Providence Artist in Marrakech" by Renee Doucette for the East Side Monthly.

What a great interview! What a great adventure! Morocco, maybe I'll make it my happy place during contractions. I'm so thrilled for you.
