This is what's on my easel today

This is where I started and finished today. Probably at the half way point. I'll hopefully work into the face and add his halo tomorrow.

This is an older painting that I used to practice taking pictures of. So I'm at the point where I've realized that I know absolutely nothing about photography, but this picture doesn't completely suck (meaning it sort of looks like the painting......sort of).

Big Youth, detail, 18" x 24", 2009

This is a detail of a Big Youth painting that I'm still working on. I definitely need a circular polarizing filter (whatever the hell that is) to eliminate all that glare (so I'm told).
