Ali Macgraw painting



I used oil for this painting. I've never really worked with oil before. It's really nice. It takes a bit longer to dry but the end product is worth it. There is not as much premixing for better blending(like acrylic) because the work stays wet but sometimes takes way too long. Over all I really enjoyed the process of the work.

Ali Macgraw



Ali Macgraw an incredible actress especially in my favorite movie, "Love Story." I saw this photo and decided to draw it. I love the context of the photo and just had to draw it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it. I need to take better pictures but due to the rain I've not been able.

I am Here...


The picture is not perfect but I can fix it later. Just wanted to show my latest piece of work. Its acrylic on canvas. 18"x24" in size. I felt like doing something spontaneous that would take its own form and design as it is created. I gave each paisley its own design trying not to reproduce it over. I loved not having to follow something but my own thoughts, memory, and impulse. Its a nice change to the past works being commissions. Don't get me wrong I love the work. Its just not my idea and I can only hope to invision what they want.
