Daniel

This is another one of the figure studies I worked on at Olivier's studio... It was a challenge to try and squeeze a full figure into a small surface. But that was exactly what I was looking for... Challenge=growth!!!

Back to Reality

Ladies and gentlemen,


I am back in Miami and today I bring my best painting from the workshop I took with Mr. Daniel E. Greene. It was a great experience. I met a lot of new people and I learned several things that I had been wondering about before...

This is Vito, our model for the morning session. I think this painting came out great... I had lots of trouble photographing it though. I couldn't get rid of all the glare...

Primo

I worked a little bit more on the portrait I mentioned yesterday. Although I am not 100% satisfied, I do give myself some props for completing it in the time I did and doing so from a picture that was taken with flash.
Having realized the pressure of doing around 10 huge portraits for thesis, I have been second guessing myself and wondering if I can actually do this. But working on this painting taught me to be a little persistent.
This is one of my cousins from my mother's side of the family.

Portrait

I took out my pastels to work on this commission of Fernando Sanz's portrait. He will be getting it as part of his present for his 50th birthday... One can only hope he likes it!!!
