Behind the Chutes

Tom Hill is one of my favorite watercolor artist, I like his style and technique. I'm following a demo from his book "Color for the watercolor painter" my colors or a little different but that's ok.

Two Brothers

This was a commissioned pastel portrait I did in 1988 when I lived in Baton Rouge, LA.  The challenge was composing it from two separate photographs of the brothers and it was at a time when I was doing more commissioned work.  I took this picture before the background was completed.  It was always satisfying to capture the personalities of the subjects in my portraits.
