2012 PAINTING REVIEW

I gotta say, its always tough to look back on my year of paintings. I always have the feeling that I still havent done the work I wanted to do. Here are several of the 2012 paintings. I couldn't quite find pictures of them all.  Most are oil on canvas and then there are the occasional watercolor.

Contra-drawing / Collage

 At a recent figure drawing session I thought I'd give contra-drawing a try. 

Well, I was less than pleased.  So, I decided to spruce it up a bit with collage. 

Much Better.
