Latest commission project

These paintings were commissioned as cd covers for the folk/americana musician Mike Greenleaf– he’s putting together a couple of albums as a retrospective project. I’m going to be working on the graphic design of the cd packaging as well. My process for these paintings involved sifting through a pile of his photos to find the emotions that best expressed the nostalgic sincerity of his music, distilling them down to their essential qualities in sketches, then executing the underpainting in burnt sienna before building the final color and detail on top.
