IF: Gesture

Flowers are a nice gesture. I pushed the brush work and the color. not much else to say except that this was much more fun than the previous painting.

3 hour pose: Man with Big Ears

Another 3 hour pose...the eyes appear a bit high, but this guy really had very little in the way of a forehead and his ear was very large...i needed more time to get to get it right as always

IF: An Apple a Day

I may be over doing the fruit here, but you know what they say about an apple a day and so it just worked out that way.

Lemon and Limes

Another little color study...this time with some tang to it.

3 hour portrait

Another 3 hour portrait study. There was just not enough time to resolve everything ( such as the neck and chest area) and I find myself in a time limit panic during  the painting session.

Still, I do believe that I am getting better at this and despite the panic it a whole lot of intense fun.
