Today, I am posting this work-in-progress. Got most of the under painting done in gray tones, then layered in some basic hints of color. My goal here is to try to capture the wood and convey a good sense of the over all texture.

Robot

5x7 - Oil on Masonite

Available $75

Had fun painting another robot from the 1950's. I did this with a quick brush as to give life to him and a sense of movement. The ladders in the background made him seem a bit lost and out of his element.

The detail work took me a bit longer than I first thought. Finally, I got it pulled together. I love the way the two chop sticks fit together to form the portrait of a traditional Asian woman.
