This is such a fantastic series. If I'm interpreting your notes correctly, your focus is on executing portraits, but I'd really love to read your thoughts on your source material. It seems like mug shots could be especially thought-provoking, raising lots of interesting issues for an artist. Great work.
Please browse through a series of small, original paintings done from mugshots taken all over the United States. These are meant to be quick, painterly studies of the human face.
The final 50+ are preemptive mugshots.
