Peircon must be a Colts fan. He loved his new jacket. This is part of a small sketchbook I have been keeping lately. Takes me longer to draw the subject than it does to paint them. I try to stay loose but just can’t quite make the switch. My drawing realism affects the painting. I like it but wish I could loosen up a bit more…

She was so thrilled to be wearing a dress. Farm girls prefer jeans and old tshirts don’t you know?

A friend of my daughter’s spent the weekend with us last weekend. Her parents had reunions to go to and we had a Halloween party at our barn for the kids. Anyway, I was painting and snapped a few quick portraits of her that I converted into this sketch. I think it turned out pretty good. It looks like her at least.

Thanks for letting me paint you Flannery…

More portraits to come…
