I'm working on a painting right now, but it's going pretty slow. Since it's not ready to post, I thought I'd show you something I did last month, when I started playing with oils again. My goal with this painting was to stay loose and colorful, and try not to blend. It takes a lot of concentration for me to paint like this. Normally I paint on autopilot, but I have to be completely conscious and aware the whole time in order to stay loose. Even so, it was quite a fun project.

an intensity to this portrait which I find appealing...
Thank you, Johanna! :)
I find so many things about his portrait compelling. What a great face! Wonderful job on the features, treatment of the hair and that terrific background
Thanks, Gwen! I was a little out of my comfort zone on this one, so I'm glad you like it. :)
