2 pm: today i was able to get back to work in my studio. i didn't feel quite ready to continue work on gaze 14, so i completed the 5th of 15 portraits of the speakers at next months vail TEDX event. they will be posted on the TEDX site, and i'll supply the link when they're up.
i haven't yet met these speakers and am working from photos, using colored pencils, graphite and a few highlights using acrylics.it's an interesting experience, switching form my large scale gaze series portraits, which are mostly 32x32" and 38x38" to this much smaller drawing book scale: 8x6." i've always loved working small, and didn't realize how much i missed it until i began this commissioned series for TEDX vail, which is being organized by our friend kat.
BELOW: the 5 completed portraits, out of 15
