Henry J. Kaiser

Although I don't usually enjoy painting cars, ships, or buildings, I thought these cars, the Henry J. and the Kaiser, looked pretty cool, and I'm glad they don't look terrible in my rendering. I also got to learn a bit about Kaiser. I wish sometimes that I had his confidence. He made quite a success of himself, despite a lot of challenges.

Living Within Our Means

Thanks so much to Matt and Val for volunteering so quickly for this painting. I sent out an email to a few couples, and they responded enthusiastically within 1/2 hour! They're great models, and even let me paint their beautiful family room. Their daughter has modeled for Kit Kittredge, painted by Walter Rane, so this is small potatoes compared to that, but I still really appreciate it!
