Portrait Studies

This one I did the underpainting for while at my booth at Summerfest. I took it home and finished it later.

These next two were drawings of students while they sat for a portrait session in my class on Thursday. I'm digging the cheap brown butcher paper.

2D/3D abstraction

the other day Vince inspired me to do some experimenting based on the kind of stuff he's been working on. so I thought I'd give it a go with my digital tricks.

what if this were a real painting?

I can't decide if these are done. the top one the green at the bottom is sage brush, i was planning on putting more info but i don't know if it will be more busy/distracting that way. there is also a fence line at the edge of the sage and field i was planning on putting in, and maybe a little more detail in the trees. . . ?

the other one was right before a storm, i had the sky and mountain painted completely different at first, then it got stormy so i changed it right before we left. i have a picture and there is a little detain in the mountain on the left side, and there is another house in the middle of the trees and white house. i can't decide if i should put it really desaturated and lose in there.

thoughts?

Just got back a copy of a higher quality shot of this last painting thought I'd share.
