Four hours. 11" x 14". Here's my last alla prima for 2009. Looking back through my old posts this year, I'm thrilled to see I've grown a lot as a painter. I wonder what the new year - and new decade - will bring? I can't wait to find out. See you folks in 2010!

Sarah

Three-and-a-half hours. I kind of went overboard here and gave her a Farrah Fawcett 'do!

Eddie

Three hours. This dude was pretty fun to paint. Every time his eyelids flipped up and down, it felt like umbrellas were opening indoors.

Doodle Before Sleep #2

Two hours on and off. Used reference for the hair. I wonder how long I can keep this up.

Doodle Before Sleep #1

45 minutes. No ref. I should do quick doodles like these before I head to bed every night to exercise and strengthen my imagination. As vital as drawing from life is, it is also equally important to devote time to draw from memory as well. The two will build upon each other.
