Calendar Cover Uncovered!

While I was debating which of the two potential calendar covers to go with (either Gray Day or Flower Bed), I noticed there was a recent work I completely overlooked! It somehow got deleted from my print gallery. I didn't even have it included for the inside images of the calendar.  

I do thank everyone who voted and gave me input on the 2 covers I proposed last week, so I feel weird springing an entirely new cover on you, but "My Side of the Mountain" manages to embody many of the good points everyone mentioned from BOTH the other two.

Hope you like the final choice!

New Release: "My Side of The Mountian"

Sometimes you want to go where nobody knows your name.

My latest is inspired by the book of the same name. I didn't realize it until I was more than halfway done with the painting. It's a book I read as a teenager.

On the Drawing Board: Focus Pocus

Whenever I feel intimidated by a painting I'm working on, I have to let the left side take over for a moment and get logical about it. 

I need to stop feeling overwhelmed by all that needs to be done, and just break it down into sections. I treat the sections as little paintings of their own. 

Doing this allows me to focus better, to get into the zone, to concentrate on one small area, really fleshing it out with detail. I just have to be careful that each section then matches the same tone, color, and level of detailing for an overall cohesiveness. 

On the Drawing Board: Making Faces

Still plenty of work to do, refining, altering, layering, but the basics of it all are shaping up.

After posting these pics on social media, someone commented, "Super-sensual, intense He looks like a wolf."

Since he is going to be in a forest, I think that's perfect! I know I'm on the right track.
