poortrait?

2009-02-24T09:47:00.000-08:00

ok so i've never been accused of being a portrait painter but for xmas everyone at the shop drew names and had to paint a portrait of that person for their little secret santa...except it wasnt really secret. i somehow managed to get Travis, the most experienced painter at the shop.....so hopefully he doesnt think this is garbage. but yeah. it was fun smearing around a bunch of oil paint. i definately havent done that in a while. and i cant remember every painting a portrait. i have some goofy stuff coming up for some paintings.

A couple more...
