New Painting Series

I took a break from the blog for about a week. I’m back, I’m rested and I’m painting.

PORTRAIT SERIES

Hydrangea II Close © Jacobson

After exploring the Still Life in depth, I have begun to miss my roots. This is a the first piece of the new series.

The Plan

  • To explore upclose and personal portraits of friends, family and flowers.
  • Paint or draw daily 
  • Do a variety of images, in a variety of styles
  • Post as soon as a piece is completed
  • Group them into themes.

As you can see from this image, the theme for this one is FLOWERS. I’ve painted Hydrangea II Close in the photorealistic style. I will also be exploring the same image in different styles.  In the end, I will probably have a new question. Should I group them by style, or group them by type (ie. Flowers, people, architecture)  My hope is that once the series is complete, I will include you in the decision of style or type.

Come back often, watch the process and be a part of the evolution of this project. It’s fun to know that you are out there and watching. And…I really appreciate your comments.
