Rich - these are getting better and better. You're painting more form and using less line with each one. This last is very sophisticated.

Great job.

I agree--this one's incredibly well executed, in addition to the vivid sense of personality and life.

Wonderful series of paintings Richard. Are you averaging one per week? I hope these are all commissions. All are very fresh and appealing.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Yes, I've been averaging at least one head per week in this "plan", sometimes I get two sitters in an afternoon. They are not commissions, I'm acting as my own "shill" in a gallery situation whrere the management hopes to raise continuing community interest. The project has led to a few commissions, though, and I hope that will continue.

Richard,

The last one is especially lovely.

This is such a wonderful example to how to go about painting figurative/portraits.

I wish I had done that, but NO!, I had to restretch large canvas after large canvas after my heads, color and drawing went south.

Folks, this is the way to go.

I'm still "going at" this project, here's # 65 . . .
This one was particularly gratifying, the "victim" let me torture him for two hours straight !
