45 minute lunch painting

No, not of my lunch, but of me again. I'm including to additional pics, the first is the sketch after 5 minutes, the next is the painting after 30 minutes, and the last is after an additional 15 minutes. Gotta go back to work!

This morning's SP

Kelly - Quick Gesture Pose

My beautiful wife sat for me tonight. Painted for about 45 minutes.

One Hour Self-Portrait

I know everyone is probably getting extremely tired of these self-portraits, but I think I'm learning a lot from them. I bought a bunch of Fredrix canvas panels that were inexpensive, and so far absolutely hate the coarse weave. So I tried adding another layer of gesso to smooth it out some. This is one. I like it better.

Rylea Beth Reading

Here's another quick one. This is of my daughter Rylea Beth, reading. One of her favorite past-times. This was the limited Zorn palette again, and was my first time painting a figure from life (except when looking in a mirror).
