Head Study #31

I think this is a copy of an Annigoni sketch.  Or it might be a Feschin.  I forgot with.

Why Not... Head Study #30

A fortnight ago I bought a new computer.  To replace an old one that had a hard drive crash last September.  Yeah, I know.  I had a back up drive and the data transfer went well.  But I had completely forgot what I was thinking when I arranged my files back then.  Well, I'm mostly caught up and back to regular practice.  So that may explain the absence and then suddenly flurry of new posts.

Here is on of Jenny Gerome, Winston Churchill's mum.  Sargent did a charcoal of her.  And I was trying to watercolor an old photograph.  But it's not very Sargent-y.

Head Study #29

It's a larger version of what just went up.  I started it before the other, but windy weather prompted me to find some way to paint plain air with 19 mph winds.  I think in the near future I'll paint water colors in the day and oil at night.  Hopefully warmer weather is ahead and the better portability of watercolor will pay off.

Back to Oils

I don't think I've painted in oil since last October.  That's the date that I wrote on my jar of mixed medium.  It was rainy today... and figure what the hell.  So I picked up where I left off a long time ago.  I think watercolor has improved my oil.

Head Study #28

This is a small one I am playing around with to find some wind resistant system.  Instead of an easel, I held this in my hand.  It sort of works.
