This portrait is nearly completed and, I am pretty happy with how it came out. Stephani is such a unique looking girl so I really enjoy painting her (even if she does not always enjoy it). The composition is sort of weird but, I think it works here. Mirror’s eye view.

Next in line is a large painting based on the same image I used in the last panel of this series (love that eyeball stretch).

Making some good progress on this second large scale portrait. Looks a little freaky since I haven’t added any eyelashes yet.

Nearly finished with the large portrait of Nikki, here is the latest progress:

I also started another large scale make up portrait, based on the same image as my favorite panel in this painting:

I have been in a bit of a painting slump lately, I just have not been able to work on anything for very long without losing focus so, I decided to start something new. So, another portrait of Nikki… a bit larger than normal. Here is a progress shot with another painting (more typical of the size I normally work) for scale.

I have already put two good days of work into this painting and have barely even scratched the surface but, changing scale has renewed my inspiration to keep painting and I am pretty excited to see it finished.

Between too much turkey and Thanksgiving day card games, I made a little more progress on the latest in my series of make-up portraits.  As usual, forgive the crummy cell phone camera snapshot of this painting. I can never wait to share and a decent camera never seems to be at hand when I need it.
