The Skater

This one slipped through the cracks, I'm afraid.  I painted it in 2013 and somehow failed to post it all these years, but to me it represents a direction I'd like to go in as a painter.  I dropped the ball at that time, but I need to pick it up again and carry on from there.  I'll carry on with my current style, too, but want to be throwing in experimental pieces as much as possible, given the time.

Green-eyed Girl

Fooling around with a more sculptural look, at least in the background and the hair.  I've long seen myself as a more sculptural painter, and yet I rarely seem to apply that method to my work.  This is an attempt to break out of a mold and get more playful with the medium.

This is my first stab at encaustic, the result of an exhilarating session with Bill Rushton.  That was fun!
