20 minute portraits!



Last night at the Hive gallery was a closing show and there was music and entertainment. So I brought my gear and went for a couple 20 minute portraits. My kind victims were Yuki and Debra. The feeling painting these was like being in a 17 minute nosedive plummeting straight to earth for a fiery crash and then pulling out at the last second and landing roughly in some trees. Exciting! I think overall the ended up ok! Yuki was tough, if anyone knows here shes like trying to paint a hummingbird. oil on canvas, 14 by 11

I always enjoy seeing these portraits! They are simple, bold and get the point across without any fuss. Very cool!

Alex! I love your portraits! When can we get together for a reciprocal session? We can have a portrait dialogue on my blog, www.typepad.designalogue.com
