Softly

This painting resembles the overcast day we're having. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite.

Second Skin

I like this one. I liked it halfway through painting it. That rarely happens. I made sure to take a picture of that halfway point.

You can see a sliver of the the reference photo to the right. When possible, I try to work in a 1:1 ratio, reference to "canvas." This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite.

Orange Pair

A fun little painting. Again, working with some grayer skin tones. This is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite. The reference photo was from Dezi Desire.

Weightless

I'm trying to train myself to paint thicker. To aid in this effort, I've been working on very dark surfaces. Any transparent strokes are sucked up by the dark background forcing me to make thicker strokes. This was painted on an acrylic medium sealed masonite panel. 5 x 7 inches again.

Shadowplay

I really enjoy doing these paintings that feature strips or spots of strong light. Drama drama drama. This is 5 x 7 inches, oil on masonite.

Glow

I painted this on Valentine's Day. I felt like painting something pink. This is 6 x 6 inches, oil on panel. Photo reference is from TwilitesMuse on deviantART.

Amy in Grey

This was a commissioned painting, one of my favorites. I wanted to try using neutral colors in the skin tones this time. To make your subject not look like a zombie, it helps to have warm, saturated accents especially in the shadows and receding planes.
