Lincoln

I did this for the DP Challenge. There is something about painting in monochrome that really appeals to me. Maybe it's the focus on value or maybe it just takes me back to the days with I did fashion illustration. Almost always for newspaper black and white ads. Monochrome reduces it the to essence.

Sparky, a Challenge

I painted this in response to a Daily Paintworks Challenge. It was subject I would not ordinarily choose and the challenge required limiting my palette to Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna and Titanium White, but I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.
