Portraits of the Palette

 

Tom Zavala. "Honey, I broke the Mirror"

A wonderfully assertive portrait of a manly man 
owning up to the damage he’s done.


Chris Heron

A fine, noble piece that makes me think of Paris, 1860


Tor Muehl, Pascale

Our mansion’s beloved French governess brought to life.
What a smile!

Clayton Beck III

Could be a study for Joseph in a Nativity scene.

Sondra Pfeffer

I don’t really see Mark here -
but it’s a strong head.
Possibly made millennia ago and recently unearthed.

Helen Oh

Infringing on the territory of Watteau.



Helen Oh

Such a noble visage  - straight from the 18th Century



Andy Conklin, self portrait

Some anxiety here - he’s feeling cornered and boxed in.


Val Yachik, Last Day of Princess Cat

Our resident master of the macabre.

Poor little Princess.

Chicago Plein Air Painters





Yelena Patskevich

camping by a river and waking up with a hangover?




Is it just wishful thinking 
or are the PAPC shows really getting better?

Barbara Herring

Not just any city - it’s "my city"
Safe, cozy, beloved.
