8x10 graphite on paper. This is Steve's late Grandpa Jensen, who served in army during WWII. This photo was taken in France. I came across the reference photo as I was going through mine and Steve's old pictures last summer. I knew I couldn't pass up a classic photo rendering opporunity like this. I began a sketch, only to forget about it and come back to it a month ago. Here is the finished product.
11x14 oil on gesso'ed masonite. "Changed". Painted for Austin Shammy's "spiderman fights cancer", displayed during the Daybreak Art Walk. The photo I referenced for this picture was taken in Xcaret, Mexico, while on our honeymoon. Their was a butterfly farm at the zoo there. This was among many other butterflies, on an entire ceiling of stained glass.
