I got some new canvas and paint last night. I have a mild headache right now. I won't take aspirin because I think the distant pain is due to some mental episode or something. I saw these two doctor-type ladies smoking outside their building yesterday afternoon so I did a quick sketch and then painted them when I got home from work. See the exact ( Read more... )

This started as a simple gesture drawing this afternoon. I got home from work around 8:30pm and put it on canvas. It's rather loose but that is what I was going for. See the preliminary / underpainting and lots more artwork at www.ChrisFrancz.com

I did a painting last night. 8" x 10" acrylic on canvas. Not sure how I feel about it. I used the raw, unprimed side of the canvas because I like the texture but maybe it's not the best thing to do. Plus, the painting, which is from a photo that I took yesterday morning around 8am is kind of dark and no amount of fooling around with it in Photoshop ( Read more... )
