Two recent portrait studies. The first Jerimiah is a new model that I’ve been able to paint and draw a few times. He’s posing for various classes that teach and participate in. It’s a luxury to have extended time with a model. You end up feeling like your painting a human, someone that is in your life, not just a hired body.

Stroke by stroke. One color next to and on top of another. Usually, I do these because I’m dying to paint from the model and I can only afford myself at the time. But it’s a strange, intimate contemplation, painting yourself. The outcome always has deep personal implications and describes so directly vague and complex emotions tide to “a time” in ones life. I’m happy to have the record that I can revisit and read like a personal journal entry.
