Haven’t posted much and having a creative block/something with this piece. Trying to work on rough plywood which I did many years ago and trying to find my groove. #artonwood #figurativepainting #figurativedrawing #fineart #fineartnude #expressionism #malefigureart #malefigurepainting #malefigurativeart #malefigurativedrawing #malefigurativepainting #fineartist #chicagoartist #lincolnsquareartist #lincolnsquarechicago (at Otter Art Studio / Ted Sollinger) https://www.instagram.com/p/BumRZ8qAtnK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1omtbi43ejm6l
