Because Icon*

(*and because I didn't bring my pads home from last week's drawing classes)

I was recently asked to submit some samples for a project requiring
several iconic/spot images. I went through my inventory of samples and
found I had very few from past jobs. I did these to round out my
submission.

Not exactly "life drawing" but fun to do just the same.

I was asked recently about my paintings. I'm reluctant to post much about them here because the focus of this site is life drawing and gestural life drawing in particular. However, I thought I would post this relic from 2004 for a few reasons.

One: I approached the painting almost entirley from a compositional point of view in that, rather than stay true to the accuracy of the figures, the figures are distorted to fit the composition.

Two: I painted in a very quick gestural way with details in the faces added only at the very last stage. In that way, it relates to the other work posted here.

Three: The hockey season is about to begin and I'm am very excited with the Bruins' decision to go old school with their jerseys!
