'Amanda' oil on linen, 8 x 10 inches

2016: A Fond Look Back

January 05, 2017 in Studio, Oil Paintings, Figure Drawings

While I'm busy putting my resolutions to actions and preparing for my most productive year yet, I figured I'd share a few of, what I think, are my best works from 2016. Enjoy!

The first three women in my Bohemian Goddess series! I've got my artist statement in the works for this portfolio which I'll be sharing here soon! 

'Tahnee' oil on linen, 10 x 14 inches

'Anjel' oil on linen, 10 x 10 inches 

I feel like I really made some great strides this year on my shorter term figure session drawings. I was forced to really step my game up when I started attending the weekly figure drawing session here at the Honolulu museum of Art School because they don't do any longer than 20 minutes for each pose. I'm used to having hours to do a drawing, but these little sketches in my homemade sketchbook are quite pleasing for the most part. 

And last, but most certainly not least, here are few of my favorite graphite and conte drawings. I just can't get enough of these fabulous people, ya know?

Any recommendations for artists I should be looking at in 2017? I sure do love a good introduction! Leave it in the comments
