First Place in the "2017 "Figurative/Portrait" Art Competition"

Just received notice that one of my custom oil paintings (which I did years ago) won first place in the "2017 "Figurative/Portrait" Art Competition".
Well, I don't believe in art competition, but still, I am humbled!

"Human Nature"

Two works were selected in the April show of Color of Humanity - "Human Nature", an online international juried exhibition.

Two custom works I did years ago

Just discovered them!

Sisters

One of my early pastel works. I like the hair the best.

A girl on the beach

An earlier pastel custom work.

A boy

One of my favorite early custom pastel work. I did this during 1998 christmas in Virginia.

A portrait of M.L.K

This is from a photography (of course). I am very satisfied with the simple effects of charcoal. It was done very quickly, without anything mental struggling. My favorite:-)
