Sculpted bust of ME

Now, for shits and giggles, an actual sculpted bust of ME! Crazy isn't it?!? Dear friend Katrina Wolfe sculpted it 5 or 6 years ago. I sat for countless hours on an uncomfortable wooden stool for the damn thing. But it came out amazing. She blows my mind.

Trois Enfant

Just a little something in progress to show the procedure. A charcoal drawing done directly on the canvas, spray fixed, and the monochromatic underpainting.

Study of Mt. Rainier

I painted this little study on a beautiful day on Vashon Island and am really proud of it because I did something I've never done before.... I painted it entirely with palette knives! No brushes!
Check out the juicy texture. All those late nights watching Bob Ross on Youtube are paying off!
