Alan Winter 7 2026



 I didn’t really like the face on my full figure self portrait, and since it’s on Yupo, I was able to clean it up and add value.  9 X 12. I think it’s done  



I guess I was in the mood to do a regular portrait before I got any older. Also 9 X 12 on Yupo. 

I’m still working on my little images from the list I was given by an old teacher.

I’ve been watching some landscape painting videos and have a hankering to do some landscapes so I’m going there while keeping up with the exercise.

  1. Yes and yes to the portraits! Both have such a monumental quality and there's just enough that's been done to completely describe you without going that one step too far. The little images—I feel they're small daily exercises. Am I right? I hope so as at a small-ish size, they have an intimacy that adds to the painting. I like the splash of red against all the brown and the depth that the winding path achieves. Looking forward to the landscapes!

  2. Well when you have a blue stripidy shirt you just got to show it off. Love the Turneresque spot of red.
