Another Girl at the Bar - original oil portrait by Connie Chadwell
This is a quick portrait where I actually set my stop watch, so that with any luck, I wouldn't kill the painting. I used a single primed linen board. There's just something about that surface that I love - it absolutely screams for looseness.
The painting is 10 x 8" - thanks so much for stopping by my blog!

Wallflower - original oil figure painting
One day she'll be a swan, but getting through the awkward stage is the challenge for now. I find young people at this sort of gawky time of life to be so charming and just wonderful to draw. This painting is 6 x 6" on Ampersand Gessobord and was painted from drawings that I did from life.SOLD
Thanks so much for visiting my blog!

Sinthy - oil portrait painting by Connie Chadwell
Sinthy - I love that name - held the pose for about an hour, but I stopped before the hour was up because I didn't want to "kill" the painting. Plus, my board is only 6 x 6", so I didn't need much time. I just made lots of strokes while mainly looking for values. I am happiest when working quickly and then moving to another spot in the room to do a charcoal figure drawing from the same pose at another angle.
This painting is on Ampersand Gessobord. Thanks for stopping by! SOLD

Alone at the Bar - original oil figure painting
I guess this is sort of a series - bar paintings. Taverns, bars and such are a perfect place to observe people, because they really let their hair down there. However, it's a strange place for a teetotaler like me to be found, but since most people I know are not teetotalers, I seem to be in these interesting places on occasion and I make the most of it.
This painting is 7 x 5" on Gessobord. Thanks for visiting my blog!SOLD
