I started and finished a whole painting in one day – but can’t take photos until tomorrow (too much glare.) Here is a super sneaky sneak peek, featuring the gorgeous Sophia. It’s very red. Red is the colour of passion. She’s super passioney. It just makes sense.
I also need to photograph my finished portrait of Albert once the blacks lighten a bit. Hopefully that is tomorrow.
Have a wonderful rest of Thursday!
Every time I do a painting I do a sketch first. Sometimes it’s very rough, other times it’s extremely detailed. For the Jumeaux series, most of them are pretty rough as I am very familiar with the subject. Just thought I’d share a few of them with you (some I’ve posted before)
The lighting is very uni-directional in my studio at night as you can see.
I finished the portrait I was working on and shall photograph it tomorrow (possibly Friday as the black paint should dry quite light and needs to wait til then so it’s all consistent 😉 Have a great evening!
I’m working on a few drawings to post, in the meantime here is the progress I’ve made on my portrait.
As you can see, my model is wearing an Amazing Spiderman tshirt. It’s a cool shirt. I feel good about this. Real good. I should be finishing up by the end of tomorrow. I stayed up late last night putting the face in and had to kind of redo it today.
Also, I sold this portrait today:
Have a wonderful rest of Tuesday! See you tomorrow!

Here is a progress shot on my 5th and final Jumeaux painting – I finished the 4th one yesterday evening/this morning and will post it tomorrow:
“Jumeaux Trois”
Oil on linen

$350
email khufineart@gmail.com for purchasing information
This is the third in my series of 5. I just finished number four today, but am not able to get a good photo of it til daytime (too much glare from my lights.) I really went wild with the feathers here and I am pleased.
“Portrait”
NFS
Ok ok this blog is “Daily”. And by that I mean “Weekdays only and some weekends at my leisure” 😀
Today this drawing, “Poise”, was sold on e-bay. If you are considering something, I have my painting “Passion” ending tomorrow morning. I recommend bidding before someone else does so you can get the incredible price.
I have just finished a piece in my Jumeaux series, but have to wait until daylight to photograph it without glare (or with less glare, anyhow.) I will definitely put it up tomorrow (and earlier, rather than late like I normally make my posts) 🙂
“Jumeaux Deux”
Oil on Linen
$775
Please email khufineart@gmail.com to inquire.
“Demure” Female Nude figure sketch
Graphite on newsprint, 4×6
This was my sketch for the painting “Lost in Passion” that won the contest in February. I paid attention to my layout and composition as well as keeping my values restrained, while still adding detail.
$30
And a glarey sneak peak at my next painting in my Jumeaux series, which should be done on the morrow:
