Pirates of the Caribbean 2?

A couple of more drawings from the "Erin the Pirate" session. The top one reminds me of a painting by Howard Pyle...."Marooned". Awesome painting by one of the all time masters.

Pirate!

Recent life drawing of Erin as a pirate. Great costume for the drawing class..great pose as well. 20 minute pose...drawn in conte and pastel at approx 18x24.

Sisters

Portraits of sisters, Kirsten(seated) and Peyton...16 and 10. I really like how the black dresses come out of the dark background. Portraits are oil on canvas...28X34.

Detail

Detail shown here. I may still work on the right hand a little.

Final

"The Box of Light" is finished with the exception of a couple of details here and there. Here's a better photo...still not great. I plan to have this one framed and ready for the Dogwood Gallery show in the spring. I've redone the photo...looks better. Maybe a tad dark but closer to the original.

The Box of Light

The roots of this painting began after a photo shoot of model Rebecca C (The Lonely Road). The photo reference was normal lighting from a window to the right of the model. The idea of the box being mysteriously lit from within came to me just a few days ago and I went to work. Changing the light source from your reference is challenging. The image shown shows the painting in it's early stages. 24X30. Detail shown.

Hippy Girl final

Well, I still don't have a title that I like but the painting is done except for a couple of small details. I'm happy with it.
"Discarded Roses" is one possibility. 24X30
