I limited the palette colors, focusing on low chroma and correct values.  And trying to simplify drawing.

I am really diggin’ the metal band: Spirit Box.  The singer: Courtney Leblanc did a one take vocal of the song: Force The Rule of Nines on Youtube.  These paintings are from that.  The heavy part and mellow part.

Still painting a lot! (don’t let my output fool you) I paint everyday!  Representational painting has a way of pointing out that the more you know the more you really don’t know.

Did some Plein air painting in June.  Quite happy that my studio painting practice works “en plein air” (painting outdoors in fleeting lighting conditions).
