Recent paintings

It's been a year since I returned to the Art Students League with Dan Gheno. I've been doing smaller head studies (as opposed to larger paintings at the National Academy and 92nd Street Y) and it's been fun trying out new compositions, colors, and expressions.

My medium is still acrylic on small canvas panels or gesso boards. I like the immediacy of acrylic as well as its ease of layering and vivid tones. I love oil as well, but its drying time is too slow for me (for my current methods anyway).

Class resumes on Saturday, September 7. I'm looking forward to some solo projects (yet to be determined) during my break.
