this is the drawing that started me painting "The Meeting" series. I have only done a study of it and not the finished painting because I am not happy with the study. Part of my struggle with the studies and paintings is to keep a "painterly version" of that drawing essence without overworking. it's funny that the people who have seen the painted study like it but I think it is too solid and stiff. more work to do.
