Sketch portrait.

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't posted since January. I haven't looked to see if this is true. I imagine that is is. Truth is, I've kind of gotten out of the habit of posting here. I have been creating, even if it is just quick ideas for paintings in my sketch books. And, I've been posting on Facebook. The reality of the whole online thing is that it has become a bit overwhelming. First there was the blog, then Facebook, then Pinterest, then Instagram! I think this last one is the one that just made me think... Where does this end? I suppose I need to spend some serious time looking into software that merges them all. But, that seems kind of impersonal. Are you guys still out there? I've lately taken an interest in painting faces. Imaginary people. People in my mind. I still love the freedom and fluidity of my sketches in my sketch book, and attempt from time to time to try to capture that fluidity with other mediums. It never seems to work. Each medium is like a language of its own and demands "to be" what it was meant to be and speak it's own tongue. I posted this sketch on Facebook and it received many different interpretations. Thought I would share it here.
