New Project

Greetings,

In light of this Labor Day Weekend, I have decided to begin a new labor, another project.

I want to create a series of paintings that have a common theme, I am going to be working with portraiture, which is something that I have little experience with. So far I want there to be a common theme running throughout the paintings. I want to do a study of facial expressions of wonder, amazement, delight, thoughtfulness, and/or contemplation.

I have a few photographs that I will be working with; here they are. I am in the very beginning stages of brainstorming, thus be not quick to judge. Also, Misko is not going to be in every one, he just happened to be in some of the ones I chose. If you have a good photograph, I would love to see it! I will begin sketching out some of these, and then begin to do oil paintings of them.

Also, at the bottom is a "Josh Neu Face" by Joe Amorella from our 2006 Greece Trip.
