"Debra" at the finish line

Here is latest progress of "Debra" almost done (about 95%) am happy with results... I liken the process of painting a portrait to a pregnancy... it has a gestation period... and like a baby ready to be born it is born.

Here is drawing of a young girl... she has a natural beauty and I can imagine her in a nineteenth century painting, that pensive look, those full lips... these are my impressions.

Store Front Drawings

Here is a model I sketched last Wed at Bay Ridge's Storefront portrait drawing session... kinda looks like a model from an old pulp fiction novel... very retro.

Drawing of David......

Here is a drawing of my friend David.... in hindsight the ears should be lower... the eyes rounder.... I love learning.....

Portrait of "Debra" in progress

Here is a painting I've been working on... I still have a little bit to go... tone down some of the flesh tones etc.  It has been a slow process but I'm learning alot from it... learning to look and not prejudge.  Will post finished painting soon.
