No Model: Bruce Sat Instead!

The New Britain Art League was going to have the same model this week come back from last week but he never showed so Bruce (one of the painters) said he would sit!

He is such a distinct character that it made him interesting to paint.

The only problem is that I did not get a lot of time to do it and I might actually work on it with out him there.

Open Painting- David - A new model

It seems like it has been a very long time since I have painted but it has only been 2 weeks.

I really needed it though.

Next week I can work on this piece more. My goal will to be to resolve the colors and shapes in the background. I also want to make some distinct marks and bold moves that will bring the piece out spacially.

I have been looking at my old work and I like the passion behind them. I would like to capture a sense of emotion and movement in this piece as well!

Most people comment on the sculptural quality of my paintings. I need to emphasize that too. How is always the questions. Maybe by focusing on the space will do that.
