New Figurative work and portraits




I am working on a series of portraits in acrylic. Some of these are still in progress, but I thought I'd share and request any feedback anyone has for me. I am struggling to keep the fresh quick gestural applications of paint while still capturing the essence of the figure and the emotions just under the surface of each one. I am finding myself getting caught up in painting tight details. Looking forward to the warmer weather coming so I can make faster progress on these and some new works. The cold winter months are slowing down my painting in the garage.
