my latest paintings

hi buddy! I apologize for being out of touch for so long..being told we need to move at the end of the year has increased my workload considerably! I'm still painting though, of course, and here's a new group portrait I hope you enjoy. I'm taking my time & aiming for perfection..will share these in depth as I'm satisfied with them. I'n the meantime I'm posting every day to www.dailyhairyartist.com as always.
Love,William

New paintings

Hi Buddy.. I just finished 2 sepia paintings I want to share with you today. I knew I'd be visisting my parents in August and needed to have some g-rated art to work on. I found Anton Chekhov (the one without the hat) and an unknown actor on My Daguerrotype Boyfriend. Anton is on claybord, 11x14 and the Actor is on 9x12 paper. I'll share a clearer pic of the Actor soon.
Lots of love from William

in progress

I'll try to do better about updating..these 3 have all been worked on since this picture was taken ;) all 9x12 watercolor.
Love,William

new painting: Chagas in blue singlet

Hi Buddy..
it's hard to believe a month has gone by since I had an art post for you. I've been working steadily but actually finishing something this season has taken supreme effort. I hope you enjoy this one. Watercolor and dyes on paper, 9x12".

self portrait variations

Hi Buddy..apologies for having been away for a while..I have been painting and will have many new pieces to share with you..for the moment here are some self portrait variations I've been painting. The original was from  the happiest photo of me I'd seen in a while..so I made some archival prints on the same watercolor paper the original was done in. After spending time painting extra life into myself I painted first a "Howdy Dooit" type sunbeam behind me with dyes and watercolor, then made a "Mickey Rodent" version..and finally a Tibetan influenced version, watercolor including one with pigment ground from Sleeping Beauty turquoise.

after the sketches I shared with you last week I went straight to work on this painting. I lavished all the love I could on him and here it is for you. Hematite and other watercolors, sumi ink and a little acrylic on paper, 9x12"
