Self Portrait

This reminded me that I have a lot to learn. It’s too fresh for me to be critical of it. I’m working on a new self portrait already for tomorrow, it feels better but I haven’t started to paint yet, that’s the true test.

A portrait a day …

I’m trying to do one portrait a day right now. I like setting impossible goals. Let’s see how many days I manage. This one is of Elvis Costello, I didn’t get his eyes right, I don’t mind, it’s only practice after all. It’s more fun when drawings don’t become precious.

Portrait practice

Not much to say about this portrait really, a beautiful face that I found while surfing the internet which in turn compelled me to draw. So I say thank you to however you are, you are an inspiration.

Norway Part Two

I arrived back home yesterday evening from my week’s holiday in Norway. What an amazing place, I’ll visit again for sure. I didn’t paint much, there wasn’t time. At least I’ve learned how to travel for next time. One day on the road and the next behind my easel 🙂
