This was one of those magical paintings where everything just fell into place. Sometimes I find that the character’s disposition, eyes, background story or color just fits.

TRUTH SEEKER. Mixed Media on Canvas Board. Original available here.Prints available in my shop. Painting is always a healing process for me. With each piece these days, once the white space is covered up, I love to get right to my character. That way, the character seems to define the rest of the painting.

One of my favorite things to do is take my art supplies and sketch outside in the park or at a coffee shop. But sometimes it’s hard to know just what to take with you.
