Work in Progress | Ole blue eyes. The first layer. This portrait is slightly bigger than the square ones I've been painting.

The silent smile. Sitting quietly in a fancy library, Heather smiled just enough to raise the mood of a humorless room.

Joe's Portrait | Shattered

Image
Work in Progress | I'm a Klutz. The canvas I was working on fell from my easel and shattered to pieces. It was a good opportunity to remix the pieces for Joe's painting.

Steven Briggs | Boxing

Image
I'm Steven's official photographer. As illustration #1 in my series, I'm always glad to have Briggs visit the studio.

Joe Bruno Again

I randomly ran into Joe at Ikea. Joe commissioned a painting and the first thing I thought was, I have to redraw him.

Joe Bruno Redux | Before and After

What a difference a year makes. As a reference for a new painting, I did another drawing of Joe .

A visitor to the studio. As illustration #12 in my series, Jonathan is a celebrity in my world. When he visited the studio today, I went full paparazzi on him.

Episode 29 | Joe Bruno Redux

Image
I needed to draw Joe again. My desk on a Tuesday morning. Refining an illustration of Joe.

Episode 28 | Pj Baldwin

Image
I wished I was her in High School. Pj has been following my project for a while and I drew her because of my I WILL WRITE YOU project, where I'm writing short fiction about the illustrations. There's a story brewing in my head about this image.

Work in Progress | Bright eyes. Sketching Pj on a Sunday afternoon.
