And Since I was So Uptight...

I sketched this to chill out.

Looks a lot like the other craggy faced, depressed men I've painted in the past. Seems I return to a certain, navel gazing theme. Who knows? Maybe this face will become something in the future. A character in a painted graphic novel, perhaps?

In any case, I sketched this with absolutely no pre-planning, no "idea" in mind. I just sat down with a blank piece of paper and my paint, and went at it. I find this is the best way to work. Starting from an "idea" seems to choke me up, especially if that idea is something along the lines of "paint like Wyeth. Go ahead. How come yours doesn't look like his?!".

Can't imagine why I choke.
