Recent Painting

without comments

Well I’ve been off and traveling a touch here lately, but I can show off a recent painting of mine here.  I did this one as a wedding gift for some friends back in California.

This trick of doing likenesses is still pretty new for me, and I’m enjoying it a lot.  I find that when working in this style, I have to pay closer attention to the 3D nature of a face, whereas when I’m doing a more direct replication of a photograph I’m looking more at shadow and light.  I feel like my practice in sculpting, and time studying anatomy has already started to affect my work on canvas.  It will be interesting to see where this trend goes.
