I thought it was time to show some progress.  The autumn scene is the first oil painting I ever did.  I took a class at MCCC and this was the result.  I think my landscapes have come a long way. 
The little boy is the first portrait I ever did (1995).  It is from a sepia drawing that we bought at Sears 40 years ago.  The original reminds me of Joe, I guess, and I will not part with it.  This was my attempt to add color to it by copying it onto canvas.
