About The Artwork
Technique: When I read that Titian said, "Svelature, trenta o quaranta!" (glazes, thirty or forty!) I had to try it. I did a light underpainting in black, red, and white. Then I started building up glazes. About mid-point, I covered the entire picture (which was now starting to look finished) with a thin layer of white. Amazing! What pearly colors this produced. Then more glazing of the entire picture with the appropriate colors for skin tone, background, dress and the alligator. I kept count. When finished, this painting consisted of 27 layers. Glazing one layer, scumbling (which is really just a glaze of light over dark, as in my white layer) the next layer--back and forth. This is how the inner glow in her face was achieved.

United States
Born in 1948, I started drawing at age 5. I had a No. 2 pencil and a pad of ordinary writing paper. I’d draw the Japanese Elms in our front yard, my dad’s car out front and the corn field across the street. Grass, sidewalk and street etc. The piano keys inside...This was in Lafayette, Indiana where I still live with my wife of 50 years. Our first daughter (1969) lives in Lafayette, while our second daughter (1972) will move back soon.
