This is a concept sketch for a portrait project that I'm working on. Paul was the "pretty" face of the Beatles. The idea was to show him how he was in the early days compared to how he looks now. The effect could be more subtle in the final painting but I'm not sure if I the overall concept is just too creepy. I'm going to explore some other ideas before I choose the final design.

This is a pair of decorative paintings I did for my hallway. I needed some thing to fill an empty wall and a couple of odd sized frames I had lying around. It was an experiment all the way through, from the painting surface to the large format to the style to the technique. I wanted to see how far I could push the medium.
