Portrait of a Boy

Finished this one back in the summer. It's one of my favorites. He has such beautiful eyes. :-)

Quick Sketch

Been busy making more masks so I can then make some new paintings. I've gotten a bunch done, so I hope to have some new work to show soon. :-)
For now, here's a life drawing of my dog George, done in Photoshop.

New Painting

So my new fascination is metal, particularly metallic masks. I like the contrast of the hard mask against the soft face, the abstract shapes and swirls within the metal, and the challenge of imitating a metallic surface using ordinary paint. I also enjoy making the masks to use as props (I've made three so far). I think this is the start of a new series. :-)

Still working on the title for this painting... It took about 3 weeks start to finish.

Updates

Updated with final photos and some detail shots of Michael, Katherine, Michael, and Rebecca.

KPF (Finished)

Finished this one on 7/7.

Revamped Website

Just to let everyone know, I revamped my other (.Mac) website, so if you have it bookmarked, you may need to change your links - the URL changed slightly. To get to it now, just type http://web.mac.com/jennydavisartwork into your browser's address bar (and, if you want to add it, bookmark the new website, since its full URL differs from the old one).

I'm still tweaking some things here and there (don't worry, the URL won't change again). Comments on the new look are welcome. :-)

Olaf's New Hobby, Boba Fett, & Other Scribbles

I started this with the intention to draw some kind of enraged barbarian horde leader.
Then it became... this.


And I named him Olaf.

(Can you blame him for wearing a leotard? Really, with legs like that, how could you not show them off?)

Also, some quick scribbles of Boba Fett (of Star Wars fame) - the digital one took about 1 minute, the pencil sketches each took less. What do you think? Do you recognize him?





And a little (very little) change to this old painting, which is still in progress and will be finished one of these days...

Really not much left to do to it. Just need to finish her shoe and make it so she doesn't look like she's floating in a green void. Or maybe I'll leave it that way. Who knows.

Also worked more on KPF today, but ain't got a picture yet - will post new pics soon; I want to wait until the progress has been a bit more dramatic before I do. :-)

KPF

Started this one a few days ago... It's about 21"x14". Almost done with the face; I need to finish the hair so that there's some contrast before I add anymore color to her skin.
