Sixth (and Final) Portrait Sitting: Jennifer

Jennifer came to my studio to sit today, August 26. I appreciate her making the drive up from Memphis. Jennifer and I are former co-workers. For a while, she was even my direct supervisor. About a year ago, she transfered to another job at another location within the company, so we don't see much of each other anymore. Especially since I've moved to Jackson. As she sat in front of the camera, Jennifer and I reminisced about past experiences, talked about her new home and semi-new car, and got caught up on the goings-on of each other's lives. She was quite expressive while talking, leading to some nice images in with some great gestures. These are the photos that I particularly like:

Working On Christy

I thought I'd let you in a little on the process. Here are a few images, taken in sequence at increments as I've been working on the portrait of Christy. I am very nearly finished with it. In fact, the actual painting is further along than the final photo in this series, but I want to wait until it's actually complete before posting any more images of it.

Finally, A REAL Update!

Ok, so it's about time I actually put a real update on this blog. Forgive me. I've just been so busy with so many other things, that keeping the blog updated has slipped big-time. Well, since the last time I actually posted something here, I have finished the portrait of Rebecca, made some sketches of Christy and Nikkila, and have a good start on the portrait of Christy. I WILL post an image of it when I finish it.

Below, I have an image of the finished painting of Rebecca and images of the sketches made of Christy and Nikkila.
