Guitar Player

I've been working fairly small for quite a while, so I decided to paint something big.  I totally enjoyed painting this one.



"Acoustic"
27.5" x 19.5"
Soft Pastel on Pastelmat

Love it Kari, I get a real sense of his being absorbed in his music.

Great work, Kari! I can tell by the comfortable body language that this is a real guitar player and not just a model. Love the way he's relaxing into it. Wonderful job on the figure and the composition as a whole!
