Okay. So I’ve done some things since. I’m trying to push that second figure back and pull Focus to the right side. The black glasses on the left are striking and I feel keep the composition rolling in that direction. That and the bright pink lips over there. So… I’m still working out what to do with the background. Some critique from a good painter friend of mine, David Bearon, suggested that I put some rusty orange in the background to pop out what used to be the blue of the left figures dress. Since that blue is gone, his opinion might change. I still think it could work, but am very open to your suggestions. Whatever it is, it needs to be something solid enough that it brings that left character a little more forward
Anywho, leave me some comments and let me know what you think. Read More »

I’ve been asked once again to participate in the ‘One Inspired Evening’ art auction to help end homelessness. This time, I’ve not only been asked to donate a piece, but also to preform a live painting at the event which will go on auction that night. Please, take a look at the event information and come on by. It’s for a good cause!
