Portrait of "P"

Portrait of “P”

He was back today for the second week in the same pose, modeling for the Independent Painters Group. So of course I painted him again, this time using acrylics instead of watercolors. I used a smaller canvas too, so I painted only his head.

A few minutes spent earlier this week. Maybe the story will emerge when I get around to attempting the painting.

Listening Now: Main Characters

The two main characters here aren’t satisfied, yet. I watched them complaining within the painting leaning against a wall in my studio.

I don’t do this often enough. I usually start a new painting.

"P" as Dog Man

“P” as Dog Man

And just last week he looked so reserved as an archeologist.

The sketching is from a costumed figure session “P” modeled for yesterday. He was wearing some of his discovered bones.

Okay, I took a lot of liberties when interpreting his pose.

Just Knowing

Just knowing

Once told

of such a place

If there is

If there isn’t

Doesn’t matter

Much

When told

Images can’t help

but appear

Once I knew where they went when they disappeared, of such a place, I can’t help imagining.
