The second one is of a girl who's picture I took at an arts festival in Hbg last year. I loved how the light was hitting her face and hair and wanted to capture the squint she had because of the extreme sunlight.

Two in progress
I'm working on these two at the moment - but have put them aside for now. The man is a guy I painted as one of my first portraits about two and a half years ago. I wanted to see how my style had changed since that time...but I'm not sure how much more time I want to spend on this as I probably won't do anything with it.

Randy and Merlin
This is a full sheet done from a photo I'd taken at Jubilee Day this year (Mechanicsburg,PA). I was very frustrated with this, especially the camouflage shirt - Now I think I need to change some things about his face before it's presentable. Oh well...
Some Monday still life setups
I've kind of lost track of my still life paintings from the Monday group. Here are a few recent ones.
Short Dog Studio Long Pose
This was a long pose at Beth Bathe's studio in Ephrata. The model was amazing. This is the better of the two I did there.
Misc. challenges
When my friend, Donna, and I don't make it to our life studio group on Thursday nights - we've started setting up challenges for ourselves to do at home. Last week it was to do a portrait of her granddaughter, Lulu.
These two little portraits of her were done on claybord - and extremely slick surface - almost like painting on tile. They are 5"x6"
This was our challenge for this week: A selfie with dramatic lighting. Painted on Fluid brand hot press paper.

Opie and Hank
These are two of my 5 "granddogs". I did this as a present for my stepson and his wife this Christmas.
Commissions
I had a number of commissions to complete around Christmas. Here are a few:
This is one of my good friend, LeeAnn and her husband, Craig. I had taken many shots of them outside of their historic house, but thought they looked a bit "hokey", so they posed for me after church one day and I liked the extreme closeup.
I had an extremely hard time getting photos of these two - since they were too far away to take my own photos.
I just followed this little boy around his yard while we chatted and I snapped photos. Very photogenic!
