"We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar "

I just want to paint, but very little time, all this typing and organizing is making me a little crazy.

I finally got my suitcase in that I will be using for my portfolio. It needs a few minor repairs, and it's not the exact color I thought it was, but I think it suits me well:



It even has a nice little pocket for resume's and business cards! Nice!

So now I have done some edits on the color I want to use for my portfolio page, and I would still really appreciate some feedback (the typography is better positioned on the second one, and I think I like that color better too):



My goal is for the page to match the case, but not distract from the artwork.

Other than the portfolio, I've been working on these 3 paintings, which I am hoping to have done by the end of the week:




And some digital work:


This one is in progress:

Revisits.

revisit [riːˈvɪzɪt] vb (tr):

1. to visit again

2. to re-examine (a topic or theme) after an interval, with a view to making a fresh appraisal

 

When I find myself trying to change in a direction that doesn't feel right, I seem to revisit old love.

 

  

 

I wish I had a better camera. Soon.

About 80% finished:

Soul Kitchen.

So this may be more for my own sanity, but here are some work in progress shots of Mr. Plant (which is, by the way a 4'x2' piece, and it feels SO good to paint this big again.):



I did some color comps before starting the piece, I might scan some of them and post them. The background is going to be a deep blue/teal color. I'm excited for that part!

Also, here is another caricature I'm going to be painting this week, Regina Spektor:


And because this post is not nearly as colorful as I'd like, here's my knitting (which is going much better and almost finished!!):
