#16 The Flower Girl

I recently went to Lake Powell with family and friends, on the ride down I rode with little Josie and her father Charles. Josie spent most of the ride drawing and telling us about animals. She is one special kid with lots of personality.

#15 The Art Critic

A painting of women critiquing the viewer. Love the red.

#14 The Saint

The project continues... My friend Michael is a Therapist who works with at risk youth. He is one of the kindest most thoughtful people I have ever met. So... I thought I would paint him as San Miguel.

The Painter

This is a painting I thought about while I was roaming art museums in Europe. When I got home I kept the hair and beard and dressed as all the painters of old. It is hard to see but the background is a corkboard with a lot of postcards of the painting I was there to study. Great trips lead to good paintings. 30"x 40" oil on canvas.

Mother and Child

This is a painting I did a few months ago. It is 30"x 40" oil on canvas. I have always wondered what it would be like to love someone that intensely, so I thought I would do a painting to ponder on it. Thanks Chris and Charly for your willingness to pose.

Commissions

I guess I should have mentioned I am doing commissions similar to the heads I am painting. Here is an example of one done since this project began. They are the same size(24"x 24") and cost $1800. I approach them as a sketch but they seem to come out more refined than a sketch. Let me know if you are interested.

Drew

My little buddy Drew. 18" x 24" oil on canvas.

#13 The Leader

Number 13 in my side project. 24" x 24" oil on canvas.

7-12

I apologize it took so long to get these posted. I am going to post them one at a time from now on so it is worth your time to come back and check this blog.

New Series/ New Side Project

These paintings(sketches) are all 24"x 24" and are completed for the most part in one session. My goal is to do 100 and have a show with all of them. I figure it will be interesting to see the 100 people painted on the same size canvas all hanging in the same place. If you want to be a part of it email me.
