Some Paintings in Progress

So here's a few new things that I've been working on (well, NEWER, anyway--I haven't been painting much this summer). Some of these will be for that portrait show at the Blue I mentioned earlier. It opens the first Friday in September.


This is 18 x 24, I think. Oil on canvas. I'm still working on the foreshortening on her arms--but other than that, I like how she's turning out. She's still really rough, but is starting to shape up.





This little lady is just about done--just a simple portrait. She's 5 x 7, oil on illustration board.


And this is just one of those weird accidents--she sort of just happened, but I like her very much. I think it's just about done--I like this one raw, and I don't want to overwork it. Oil on canvasboard, 11x14?


This one's done, and I'm pretty sure she'll go to the Blue as well at some point. 5x7 oil on illustration board.


None of these have real titles yet--they're still too new in my head.

They are gorgeous, Amy! I especially like the second to last one with her eyes closed. It looks like she is thinking of all sorts of wonderful things.
