Tyler (Stranger #62)

I used a small palette knife for most of this painting and am very happy with the result.  I feel like I’m inching ever closer to the style I want to achieve.  This painting required a looseness of mind that doesn’t come natural to me.  I still have the urge to “paint within the lines” and make everything look as realistic as possible.

Ben (Stranger #69)

My 100 Strangers project actually began as a way for me to find original subjects to paint portraits of.  However, I got so consumed with the project that I ended up not painting for a year.  Now that it’s finished, I have at least 100 potential portraits to paint.  This is my second stranger painting.

Jay (Stranger #96)

It’s been exactly a year since I last painting something.  I did this stranger portrait yesterday as a way of brushing off the cobwebs.  It’s amazing how much you forget in just a year.  I’m hoping to ramp back up and create some more work soon.
