The Crayola Project!

Progress!

Much progress has been made in just one day in my new studio!

See the sexy portrait I am doing of my best friend below, from this morning to this afternoon (oil on canvas), and an old painting from college (oil on Masonite.)














I photographed for memories, then sanded and coated in gesso to start a new piece soon. This piece was a study inspired by Cecily Brown's original (click here.)

WRATH

ENVY, LUST

These pieces are part of an ongoing series of large-scale multi media "drawings" (just as much paintings as drawings) representing the 7 deadly sins that I showed at the end of my Advanced Drawing and Advanced Painting courses at Skidmore for a student gallery show in the studio.

Evolution of a painting...

This painting is still 'in the works' and consistently offensive. No one is quite sure the gender of either figure. I don't think it really matters!

[Most current state above]

I was having some struggs getting the right lighting for this photo, so here are both best takes. This piece is also under construction and clearly inspired by Cecily Brown [Check her out at http://www.artnet.com/artist/3152/cecily-brown.html]
