I've been painting up a storm during spring break this past week...it feels good! I've been focusing on these small wood panel portraits lately; after discovering the magic of the wood panel while doing the hand studies (see below, still unfinished), I'm not sure whether I'll ever go back to working on canvas. I'll have to try a large-scale panel piece sometime soon to see whether that's feasible...
These are three of the wee portraits I'm currently working on, in three different stages of completion, with more coming soon.
It's now possible to commission a portrait directly through this site (thanks for adding commerce options, Squarespace!), so if you've been waiting for the right time to ask for a portrait, go for it! I've been assured that people enjoy getting them as gifts, too...
The commissions page will help you get started and learn more about the process.
