Mostly sketches. Occasionally a painting. Nothing political other than caricatures reinforcing the truism "Politics is Show Business for Ugly People".

My Class Painting
Still lots of work to do but it wasn't easy. No base drawing just blocking from a photo. It's got problems but it gave me a chance to use oils after 30 years.
Jim, your palette here is quite marvelous ... looking forward to seeing the finished piece! I hope she doesn't lose the "glow" I see emanating from her at this stage.

Great!
Nice job. Did you get some useful feedback and advice from the instructor?
Yeah, this is still unfinished but I wanted to show the progress
Pretty dang good. Just really internalize that planes of the head and do the edges. Lost-hard and soft (in the right places)
Looks like it's really coming along!
I esply like the ruffled portion of the scarf that is obscuring her neck/chest. Very nice feel! And nice color, too!
Yup... this is a strong piece. Nice work, Jim!
Has Andrea passed on any helpful instruction or insights?
Not at this point. Only at the beginning.
Thanks All!
do a flip on it and see if you still like it
Already did that

I'm VERY glad you're painting again. :)
So when you flipped it, did you see anything that you said, must physically alter that?
I like Beata's comments. and agree.
Yeah, there is some stuff I need to fix and yes......I like the glow and need to keep it
