2 Portrait Studies
I painted these 2 in the studio this morning as a warm-up. I used vine charcoal & black and white craft-grade acrylic paint mixed with retarder to aid wet-in-wet application. The surface is corrugated cardboard.

Audrey in Black and Yellow
I painted this 18"x24" acrylic last week. It was a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law, who is a big Audrey Hepburn fan.

TEDx 2013 Sketches
This past weekend I was invited as a guest sketch artist to the annual TEDx event here in NH. While the speakers gave their presentations, I sat next to the stage and captured their likenesses. It was very challenging, but I surrendered myself to the process and ended up with (in my opinion) very successful work. Many thanks to everyone I met for their affirmation and support!
