"Pretty Boy," 6x6" oil on linen panel. This is a fun experiment.

I've long enjoyed making up faces from my imagination, my "pretty people," a combination of all the handsome TV characters I saw on TV as a child. Here is one such face.

This time, however, I tried to follow the color (light and shadow, warm and cool) of reality a little more (something I never did in the past). I actually looked at a random photo (not the same pose) to "get" the color from it. This painting is the result. A very quick little study, just getting me started, but so much fun to do! I will definitely be working with this idea in the future, for my own gratification.

Further pontification about this painting can be found on my blog.
