Two Recent and One Old

This painting is an old one that I thought I'd share.  It's oil on panel about 4ft X 2.5ft.  This was done as a class assignment back in college, and is a self portrait done from life.  From life?!  Yes, when I was younger and more fearless, I rigged up a mirror near the ceiling in my apartment, borrowed a suit from a friend, and just went for it.  I titled it "Corporate Fall", and I guess it shows how I imagined I would end up trying to lead the corporate life.  I kind of like the fact that we don't know if he was pushed off that building, or has jumped, but the expression says "regret".  Well, now it looks overly dramatic, and pretty amateur in technique to me, but at the time I was growing as an artist and young adult and I'm still fond of it.



The next two are drawings from recent life drawing sessions.
