Here is something that looks more finished than the mini wip snapshots I’ve been posting in past weeks.
This one is a rough digital color study (approx 4 hrs) for an upcoming painting for my next show.

Been so busy working on my solo works for the show in June at Copro Gallery. here is a little teaser of a work in progress. Waiting for some paint to dry to add another layer.

These are some observational drawings that I do on the subway, sketching almost every Sunday, it is a commitment to draw life.
