I put together a short substack post about the portrait studies I've been doing lately. There are 3 short videos showing a few moments of the process. I hear some people find this sort of thing interesting, are you one of them? #portrait #artprocess

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Acrylic portrait study on paper - I worked somewhat in reverse of my usual process on this one - painting in broad areas first, then sketching on top in pencil, finishing with more paint. #portraitpainting #art #portrait #acrylicpainting

I've been painting these loose, acrylic portrait studies as a way to practice, but also to get my mind off other things 😅 I'm not aiming for precise likeness, but do you recognize her? #portraitpainting

The largest piece I've painted recently. My grandparents enjoying their backyard pool 😎 which I imagine was new at the time. I loved this composition, featuring so much of the water in the foreground. new pool 12x12" acrylic painting on cradled panel Ready to collect #nostalgia #figurepainting

Who remembers basement bars? Even my parents had one and they were neither drinkers nor entertainers. It was nautical themed with a porthole and styrofoam parrot. "basement bar" 6x6 inch acrylic painting details: rpetru.com/products/bas... #1970s #nostalgia #contemporaryart #painter #art
