An 8x10 sketch painted on location, and then referred to in my studio (along with photo references) to create the 24x30" painting. The model is the son of an artist friend, and he posed on the family's screened-in porch. 

For my narrative concept paintings, I choose a model to fit the type of character I envision for the painting. This contemplative young man was perfect for portraying a character in the midst of concentration on his writing.  


This painting was part of my annual exhibition of new work May 18-July 7, 2018.
