The Studio is Clean

Between series, I have to clean the studio. It helps to clear my mind as well as the space to start a new project or series.

I spent some time outside this morning to plant some more seeds and listen to the birds.

I put together a flip book with more in-process photos. Would you be interested in seeing more of these?

Portrait # 35 and my memoir

I finished face # 35 today and decided, for anyone interested, that I would offer the story of my life, "Fireworks at Dawn" a digital Kindle publication, for 99 cents for one week, starting tomorrow, May 13.  http://www.amazon.com/Artists-Memoir-Fireworks-Dawn-ebook/dp/B008G371SC/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426451248&sr=1-3&keywords=ezshwan+winding

Here is the process of this portrait:

April 24, 2015, Fifty Faces Project, half way through

This face was fun to paint. What wonderful character lines in his face.Number 25. Now only 25 more to paint...

Portrait Project, Monday, March 30. Free Portraits

This is the kind of portrait I want to make. Some kind people have sent me low contrast photos, eyes covered in dark glasses, and so much background that if I crop all that out, the face is still too small.

Remember, I am painting your portrait for free, so I am not obligated to use every photo I receive. I appreciate the response and will attempt to use every photo, if I can see your features.
