Anny in Maine
Do I ever paint anyone other than my family and friends? Lately I've been on a roll with family portraits. This one is of my mother as she sat on a bench waiting for her popovers at the Jordan Pond House on Mount Desert, ME. I decided to paint her in another settling, so behin her is the house we used to stay in on Mt. Desert. When I look at the portrait I think of her sitting in "her place;" it's become more real to me than the place in which she was actually sitting.
Oil on linen, 36" x 28".
