The Piano Factory
Thursday, February 24, 2011
I've been visiting the piano factory near my studio for several weeks now. There's something strangely poetic about these absurdly large instruments, all bundled and strapped and gathering dust. After doing some small charcoal drawings and a small color study, I decided it was time to get into the big sketches. This is a little over life sized (24x30in). Hopefully this piece will stand on it's own, but it's really about gathering info for the scale that I'll be working on in the MUCH larger piece. More to come soon!
Self Portrait: Getting started
Wednesday, February 9, 2011
It's been while since I've started a self portrait, but the timing feels right. I'm hoping to push the envelope in the new series I'm starting, so some serious introspection is due. A self portrait shouldn't be about projecting an ego to others, but about truly examining oneself and putting the result forward unfiltered. Working on linen, this was supposed to be the rough drawing for the painting to come but I got a little carried away. It's going to be tough to cover it up!
