Mask Wearing - What it says about you.


I am going to turn this rough drawing into a painting soon.  It will be my next project.

The see through mask is a wish of mine.  The masks that come up on online searches are non-medical grade, so pointless. 

Maybe soon masks won't be necessary? For now, I am a believer.

Academic Style - A Self Portrait




I painted this self portrait in a Grand Central Atelier online class with Diana Buitrago.

The academic style worked well for me as I am currently studying 19th century art, but I think the background and shirt colors make the portrait more contemporary than neoclassical.

Its great that I have a hobby that I enjoy and can do inside until the Pandemic is over.
