Portrait of Peter Larson

20x40 acrylic, charcoal, oil pastel on canvas
Peter Larson is a very funny man. I have known and laughed at him since high school. I hope this portrait makes up for that, a little.

"The Apple Ponderer" (Portrait of Miles K.)

28x22 inches, oil paint and oil pastels on canvas
Thanks to Miles for letting me work from his beautiful photo, and thanks to Trevor Hill for the title.
Miles currently works the San Francisco Bay Area as a stand-up comedian, as does Trevor Hill. I've been shadowing them and their very-fancy group of funny ones sketching and laughing in bars and clubs; one of my new favorite things to do.
