Alla Prima Portrait: Biker Stan (Oil 20 x 16)

Stan is a regular model at Punta Gorda's VAC and we use him from time to time. Interestingly, whenever he was asked to sit for us, I had always set up for the other model and didn't want to move. Today, Stan came a little earlier than last time and I happened to begin the setup. Upon seeing him, I immediately moved to his site. At least everybody said I got the likeness.

En Plein Air: Wild Turkey Strand Preserved (Oil, 16 x 12)

Yesterday I went with Lee Plein Air Group to paint at Wild Turkey Strand Preserved. It was the first time I painted there even though it wasn't very far from home. It was overcast. Basically it was a piece of wilderness. You have to look very carefully to discover its beauty. it was just for a warm-up since I was back home.
