Lady with the Blue Face


Lady with Blue Face 24"x30"


Lately I been inspired to shift my painting style when it comes to painting portraits.  I am now going to be more free and loose at the under painting stage with loose and expressive mark making.  This expressive mark making is done spontaneously to produce a under structure in which differ brush marks can be applied over.  
When this occurs it provides a abstractive approach in the painting where it will not be so rigid and tight.  In this new style there will be more variation of edges.  The women in the painting is my wife from a abstract perspective.  The goal is to learn from and build upon the new concepts and incorporate them into my process.  I truly have always enjoyed creating and painting my art however, with this new shift in style and approach I look forward to more fresh looking works of art.  This is the fourth large scale painting I have done in a row.  
I desire to do more large scale painting in 2021 with the intention to enlarge my small scaled plein air studies.
