Here’s a new one continuing to push the painterly direction and approach and it is really feeling good. I can’t think of any other recent painting which was as exciting and enjoyable as this was to work on. I’m also tremendously proud to say that this piece will be on display at the Allentown Art Museum for the At The Edge: Art of the Fantastic show from June 3rd through September 9th where it will be hanging in some very distinguished company.

Dave,
This is killer!
love it! Hand looks a bit odd on the woman though. Might be the scale?
lower arm too long? Something is off there

Wow, Dave! o__o
You’ve stepped it up a notch with this one man! Really good!!!
thanks all! Bjorn – yeah, my model happens to have long thin arms and large hands. I debated at the beginning about reducing them for a more “idealized” proportion, but decided against it
Very nice, Dave!
