As yet untitled. 2013, 34″ x 44″, OC.  I’ve always enjoyed painting en grisaille, possibly because it adds to the totemic quality of the figures.  I’m not really a naturalistic painter anyway.  Afterwards, I glaze with light washes of local color and the result has the feel of a tinted photograph.  I’m not sure if this is finished, half tempted to ratchet up the color since the figure is in an environment.  We’ll see.
