Day 8- Portraiture


I have decided to take my paintings in another direction. I kept trying to paint meaningful objects, and frankly was lacking motivation. However, the more I consider what inspires me, the more I realize that the people who have shaped my life are my inspiration. I have decided to challenge myself by painting portraits for the time being. This first piece is of my nephew. I tried to not overwork the surface and allow the paint to speak for itself. On a side note, I feel like the image of this piece is much better than my previous postings. I think that the color and lighting is a little off in them. I may try to repost better images.
