David and Michael

"David" Oil on 8x10 canvas

"Michael" Oil on 8x10 canvas

Portraits of loved ones are the absolute worst. These were a combined mothers/fathers day gift for my parents when they came to visit early in the summer. I had painted a self-portrait, as well, but that one is unfit for blogging. I asked Mom and Dad to let me keep them all a little while longer and fix them, but I haven't allowed myself to return to them yet. 

I'm actually really digging Michael's. It's a good caricature.

Habit

I was trying not to think about art for a while, but it's hard to break a habit.

Ah, well.
