Almost finished my 9 months with Tony Ryder and crew!

My final painting that is still in-process at Tony Ryder's school.. Mostly fine tuning now and will update.  On linen..  Model: Randy via "natural" fluorescent light source.  about 4.5 weeks at 2.5-3 hours per day..  10" x 12" on Artfix Linen. This is a close-up.  I think I can say Tony was pleased!

Full-size..

A senior student who was nice enough to sit for me.. about 2 hours..

Crystal quick head study ( little bump on left nostril is her nostril/nose ring.. not really rendered.. )

The above would be the imprint of my palette after it flipped out of my hand ( trying to scare M.T.H.), down the stairs and landed ( gravity is a B!) upside down on the floor.  Right after I had flipped and prepped all my paints for the morning.   Story of my life.. dog hair in and gravel in my fancy paints to start the day!!  Thanks Big John R for the quick photos!
