Here are some paintings from a series I spent a good amount of time and effort on. I stopped painting them this time last year. I don't think they are very good. They where the more successful in terms of being finished things that showed some level of ability. In the end I did not get what I had hoped and they just never really came together. I thought they might open up a bit but in fact the reverse happened and it became recessive. Also in terms of how people viewed them I don't think I succeeded especially when people would ask me who the people of the faces where I always just meant them to be motifs or stand ins just a functioning part of the painting. And the awkward composition just seemed to be something people didn't appreciate and that was my favorite thing about them. I think I learned something from them.
Here are some more that preceded the above.
