Oil painting exercice. Kind of a warm up, if you like.

Some more sketching today: an abandoned snack bar that I chanced upon by trying doors I had no business opening; a canyon made out of bricks and fire exits; a beautiful, airy and sunlit trash collection day.

Poles... as far as the eye can see. Yet, invisible.

Spending time in the studio before the kids wake up and start demanding 110% of my attention.

This fine gentleman called on me for the second sitting of his portrait today.

[banuoplus]

Calling this one done for the moment. It's currently hanging in plain sight in my studio so that I see it every day all day, even when I'm not looking at it. This stage is for correcting mistakes. It gives my unconscious mind some room and time to identify what needs to be corrected. My conscious mind can then be notified, usually in a weird flash, within a week or two. #art #artistoninstagram #paint #painting #painter #oil #oilpainting #toad #portrait #creepy #wip #unconscious
