The holidays are a time for family, so I with this post, I would like to share some of my family's talents.
My Mother
Janet Overfield, paint on paper, 1976
I studied this painting very closely as a child. I believe its use of black and white influenced my interest in contrast.
My Father
James Overfield, walnut spoon, 2012
My father has always been an extremely creative person, most often in practical applications. He's now retired and is delving into woodcraft, leathercraft and metal work.

The Cosners
 My sister, Carla Cosner has created her own magazine, West Virginia Family from the ground up. She takes on the work of editor, graphic designer, sales representative, public relations, delivery and more almost single-handedly. Her husband, Chris Cosner, is a talented painter, designer and animator - proficient with the old tools as well as the new ones. He's currently teaching art at Glenville State College. In addition, their daughters Kristen and Kylie have inherited their artistic talents.

Last, but certainly not least, is my wonderful wife, Lauren Adams. I can't convey how proud I am of her and her amazing work. She's an incredible painter as you can see here: laurenadamsart.com

I'm proud to be able to share all this great work with you! Happy Holidays!
 
 
This first painting to be posted in 2012 is a continuation of my series of contemporary figure paintings with latex on canvas. The contour line drawing is created through scratching away the wet paint.
