Oil on panel portraits.
I’m loving this new transition he’s taking into a more tangible skin rendering. They delicacies he’s capturing are seductively alluring, so tangible and raw. There is still an other-worldly nature top his portraits, particularly in the way he illustrates the eyes; however, one cannot deny the powerful stares and quite strength of character of the women he portrays.

“
Something better than this
Someplace I’d like to go
To let all I’ve learned
Tell me what I know
About the kind of life
I never thought I’d live
Till the ugly truth
Showed me what it did
Let it pass on the side of the road
What a friend could tell me now
On a borrowed dime
In different light
You might see what
The other side looks like
In a random room
Behind an iron door
Kick an empty can
Across an empty floor
Let it pass on the side of the road
