"The Artist in his Studio"

I thought it would be fun to do a studio-themed self portrait.  This painting was done almost all from life, photo being used only for the initial drawing of myself.  All the still-life elements and drawings in the background are all as they appeared in my studio.  Check out this piece and a few of my other recent portraits at Meyer Gallery in Park City.   SOLD

"Studioscape"

The start: A very basic line drawing marking composition elements.

About half way:  My process is fairly direct.  I tend to finish a painting in sections, most of which are completed in one session.
