Self-Portrait (repost)

I've posted this photo before, but it seemed a nice one to end with. I've come to the end of the material that I want to share here. It's possible I'll find more pieces that are worthy of the collection, and if so, I will add them.

This marks the end of my regular posting. RTH always told his photography students that the secret to taking great photos was "you throw enough mud at the wall, and some of it will stick." He got a lot to stick, but there was a lot to sort through. I've enjoyed going back through all of his art. I hope you liked it too.

Ships on the Horizion

An oil painting.  This one reminds me of navy ships on the horizon, but you might see something very different.  MSH has this one.   This one is fairly large; I remember it as about 3' x 4'.

Painter in the Park

Painter in a public park.  Japan, late 60s.

Tule Field

Oil painting called "Tule Fields" in my notes, though I don't know where I found the name.  JLHS says RTH had been taking a class in Geology before he painted this.  He was very interested in the land layers and had been on several field trips out in the country.    I have this painting.  It's 48" x 58".

Flowers in a Vase (Painting)

Flowers in a Vase.  Tempura on Paper.  This is about 12" x 20".  It was painted while RTH was in College.

Ships at Sea

Abstract of ships at sea.  This was RTH's first oil painting done with a palette knife.  It represents "a feeling he had while on watch on the ship at sea in early morning."  The original is 3' x 4'.  I have it hanging in my living room.   This one is pretty popular: RWH has an almost-full-size copy on display, and KSR has a smaller copy up as well.

Children Painting

Japanese children painting in a public park.  

Ocean Waves (painting)

Oil Painting of ocean waves.   Thanks to EWR for the improved image.  As I recall, this was over RTH's main work desk at Terra Uchi.  KSR has it at present.
