Thanks Linda and Carl,
I've been focusing on forcing different portrait compositions, like the self portrait. I do a lot of thumbnail sketching then I try to find models that will fit the idea. My recent museum sketching has really made me focus on composition. I think of it as falling down the stairs and either landing on my feet or on my a#@. A lot of times the thumbnails will give me a good idea of the concept. I'm just starting to branch out into larger more complex works, trying to take my time to figure things out and evolve slowly.
