Here are some sketchbook studies from some years ago. Two of these (above right and farther below) turned into oil paintings (working in thin glazes) on wood panels, frames painted to match.
In the case of the studies (second set in particular), I believe the finished pieces lost something in the translations; the faces are more expressive in the studies, the light and shadows more dramatic and compelling.

I’ve never seen these before. I really like the second one, but see what you mean about the difference in the face (compared to the studies), but I like it!
Thanks,Zac! Yeah, these are old, from college.
