Rick (acrylic on paper) 10.5″ X 14.5″

It took me a long time, but I finally finished this portrait of Rick. I started it about a year ago, but we were so busy I couldn’t work on it consistently until last summer. Then, for some reason, it took me longer than usual to capture Rick. Hopefully, the painting I’m working on now won’t take nearly as long. Now that I have a dedicated studio, and I am no longer farming or teaching, I paint for several hours almost every day. I should have a better chance of finishing my next paintings in a more reasonable timeframe.
