This painting is 36" x 48" in its entirety.

I worked on this head painting in two sessions from life at the Zoll Studio in Timonium, Maryland. Molly, the model, was excellent to work from.

The reference I had for this painting was really great, but I found myself struggling with color temperature. I think it ended up alright, but it was definitely a challenge. I had a lot of fun with reflected light.

Jazmyn

This is a head study for a larger painting I'm doing of Jazmyn playing the piano. I'm especially trying to get the values right here.

These are my favorite kind of apples. They are tiny and they cost 25 cents at Wegman's. Tiny apples make great for a tiny painting.

Carly - Nov 2009

Carly is one of the best models I have ever had. She sits so still, and she wore her hair the same way and the same outfit for four different sessions. She is amazing!
