charles?

ah, its been so long hasnt it? its been so long since i put some paint on a canvas. but tonight i got my butt off the couch (metaphorically speaking) and did a little work on a canvas i started a few weeks ago. its 12" x 24" and (unfortunately) 1" deep. i have a surplus of 1" canvases that i need to use.

the initial sketch wasnt anything i was SUPER excited about, but hey...sometimes you gotta just work with what youve got. and i had this...

he looked scared to me. but what was he scared of? well, i handt figured that out yet. so i sat down and tried to sketch some more and worked my way to THIS point...

and here's a little closeup shot...

sure, why not? so i got out my paints and brushes and got started on the real stuff

don't look at me...

...im a monster!

this is about an hour and a half of painting, so im excited that the pace is decent. i dont want to go crazy on this because im feeling like i need to stay loose and actually work on volume right now. i want to produce a large amount of work in a short time, and keep things moving.

3 or 4 more hours on this and ill call it done.

thanks
PAUL
