Summer/Hawk

2 oil paintings woven together

I asked my friend Lana to pose for this, which she obligingly did. Then she was so distressed by the idea of cutting up the resulting portrait that she gave me some lovely jewelry in exchange for the painting. We were both happy, because all I had to do was paint it again. She has the spiritual name of “Summerhawk,” so I painted a red-tailed hawk in flight to go with her. It was the first time I tried painting both canvases in color, but I love the result.
