This is a portrait sketch which has been colorized in photoshop (also one of the most favorited on my Flickr site). I like to do photoshop color studies before the painting. It's a fun way to play without committing to the paint. I think it is interesting when people hide under their hats or clothes.

this is one of my favorite little meeting sketches. Ultimately it will become a painting (in my "The Meeting" series). the people in these 20 minute meetings were an eclectic group but for a short time in the mornings we checked-in about the new issues and shared a couple laughs. the guy in the hood seemed to be perpetually "waking up". I hope the final painting will capture the crisp simplicity of this drawing and convey all the feelings of each participant.

Mo on the Edge of His Seat

This started off as a small sketch that kept lingering in my mind. I love the way Mo was sitting, so eagerly, listening during a meeting. I can rarely verbalize what I want to do when I start to make a drawing into a painting. I start with the feelings first and for me that was the color. After a while of playing with it, I realized that Mo was really like the sphinx, on the desert, being sandblasted by the meeting. That's when I accentuated the textures and "wind" and the force of the group that Mo sits on the edge of.
