Sketches / Works In Progress

"Fall down seven times, get up eight."

Posting a few sketches from awhile back (2012 - 2013)

Mini-Update

Life came up again. Fell behind on posting. This is some old work I haven't had the time to post yet.

Splash

"His laughter, which was never far below the surface of his conversation, now sparkled like a splash of water in sunlight."
~ Joseph Lelyveld ~

Portraits

"A portrait is a painting with something wrong with the mouth."
~ John Singer Sargent ~

I started practicing doing quick portraits. I want to be able to go sit in a park some day and draw random portraits of people. I think that's a fun thing to say I have done in my life! These are all 13-25 minutes long.

Banana Preparation Work

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana. I said 'No, but I want a regular banana later, so...yeah'"
~ Mitch Hedberg ~

These are sketches and ideas for the next couple paintings. I asked a friend to give me a random thing to draw. She said "A Banana!". I decided, if I'm really an artist, I can make a banana look good!
