A Few New Paintings...

I've been trying to urge myself back into painting, just to do a few experiments and get more work into this project. I primarily use oils, this is a quick rough portrait of Matt Bellamy. I quite like the unfinished look of it, I initially looked at some of Jenny Saville's paintings for inspiration, i like her use of brush marks and thick slabs of paint. i think I have some way to go before I get anywhere near her style. I may well develop this picture a bit further so watch this space for updates on how I'm getting on.
