A couple portraits

Allo all!

Heed my advice: when it is 94 degrees outside, do not I repeat DO NOT go to your un airconditioned notoriously hot studio space.

You will get heat stroke and sport a lovely headache the rest of the evening.
Here's a McCurry portrait of a boy from India and a 21st century Rocker girl from Britain.
Acrylic, about an hour each, give or take a few minutes. Please full view!


Ten minute warmup of a tribal boy, also from Steve McCurry's book Portraits.

I made a great investment the other day. I ended up in the bookstore at the mall and picked up a book full of Steve McCurry's gorgeous portraits (think the middle eastern girl with crazy hazel eyes and the red headwrap). He works for National Geographic and is... the best. So now I'm painting them.

I love looking at these and wondering what happened to these people... What they look like, where they are, even if they're still alive.

Typical me. Going shopping for clothes, ended up running home early to go draw. Pfft.
