Mugshot Portrait

Here is the next installment in my Mugshot series. I have been wanting to paint people more, but the trouble is finding a model! I thought, why not a captive audience? This unhappy fellow is acrylic on canvas board. I hope he had a nice stay.

Zena Road pt 2

This is the same subject matter as Zena Road, I liked it so much I thought I would give it another go for the fun of it. This is oil on panel, with a plaster ground. 9 3/4" X 19".

I have been experimenting with watercolors for the past couple of weeks, with little success. This watercolor came close to behaving like I wanted it to, probably because I did not use it in the traditional way. This is done on a panel prepared with plaster of paris instead of paper.
