Final Portrait of my Brother in Law after a lot of reworking. It made me remember how much I love the tactile aspect of painting, dipping, spreading light paint over a toned ground, changing things that need changing.

A study for my next painting, it won't be specific to identity, but more about a jaunty guy playing a ukelele in a sky blue hat.

I have been too busy organizing the Davis Visual Arts Association to paint this week. Not even a drawing. But here is a painting from not long ago. It's my Dad, in celebration of Father's Day.

About Me

My photo
Kris
Things are changing. I took a break from portraits and figures, and moved to making collage. Now, I have moved yet another step away from portraiture. I am not through with portraits, just taking a much needed break. For now, I am starting a series called "The Thing that Can't be Named." It is based on abstract value sketches made in 3 values of india ink. Then, I choose an idea from the abstraction, and work out a drawing based on the value sketch that's more representational. I can't get away from representational art just yet, it seems. There will be more collage in my future too. Cheers!
