Faces of Youth


Here is a series I worked on over the cold winter of 2014.  I am trying to loosen up with acrylics and learn the nature of the media.  I focused on young faces. 
 
Rose
9x12 acrylic
NFS
I love the action of Roses hair. 

Jerome
8x10
acrylic $75.00

Hunter's Sister
This young lady visited me one day in my art room.  Her hat was wonderful.
9x12 acrylic
$75.00
Red Head
10x14 acrylic
$80.00
I was on a roll in my studio.  I needed to start one more painting and was out of canvas, so I grabbed an older painting I had never really liked much and painted over it, leaving old painting showing as the background.  The whole painting has a strange texture to it, but it is loose and fun.

The Pout
8x10 acrylic
$75.00
Love that fat lip. 

Grace
acrylic
NFS
I was looking for fluidity of the paint on this painting.  I love how it looks as though the paint is still moving on the canvas.

Red Scarf
9x12 acrylic
$50.00
 


Getting Ready for Spring with some daffodil paintings.   March 2014

14x16 watercolor

I have found myself back at the watercolors after some time with acrylic portrait painting over the cold winter.  No matter what I am working in, it is always about the color and the brush stroke.
