Regarding the work …


Work in progress …





Two of five finished portraits for a show in May. These are 14”x11” pastel on paper.


Preparatory work and first steps …






It’s really easy to look at art and say I like that or I don’t like that. Try doing it.

Once you’ve spent a considerable of time training to render dimensionality in a 2D picture plane, it’s hard to break away and flatten things out. I went into today’s session with the intention of color blocking and rendering flat shapes in vibrant colors. Looks like I’ve got some work to do. Tomorrow I will limit my colors—I think that will help.
