I woke up determined to make two paintings today. For this second
work of the day, I practiced what I teach when I teach portrait work,
which is to find ways to have the subject there, but not there.
It's all about accurate proportions with an economy of strokes that
make the subject not so explicitly there but expressively and
emotionally there. Not easy but something I love.
