In Between Days. Oil on canvas. 2020. . Thanks to @gerardorosalesart for coming by the studio and sitting for me.

Portrait of Rodin. Oil on canvas. 2020. . Been working on this bad boy for the last year or so. Looking, thinking. Thinking, looking. Coming up with ideas.

Powder. Oil on canvas. 2020. . Special thanks to @adamtce for sitting for me and letting me turn him maroon.
