Portrait; studies




































Working In the Studio,
Experimenting with Oil on wood
I've started using the wood as a hard surface
to apply, mix and scrape paint on, and also for its
organic colour and grain.

February 2010

Starting with pastels on wood,

figuring our the proportions
& composition







Detail of eyes,
an eye with a shine is a reflection of a person full of life,
an eye with no shine is a dead person.

Hi Ania,
Thank you for posting a comment on my blog. Actually only the drawing is exhibited at Bastakia, not the oil painting.

I wish I could point to the one I was referring to... I was going to say its the untitled on wood, but they are all untitled on wood! The one I particularly like is the one completed in Feb 2010!
