New Experimentations Inspired by Riverview Station artist great, Jonas Gerard of Asheville, NC

I'm trying something new! I recently toured the gallery of Jonas Gerard at Riverview Station in Asheville, NC and his flow paintings have inspired me to try something a little different with my portraits.

Portraits are my passion... and I feel like I do a really good job capturing likenesses heavy on realism.. I have always desired to cultivate a more "painterly" look... but seem to get somewhat trapped in my realistic tendencies...

Today I have started something completely new and we shall see how it turns out... I am so excited about this idea that I could hardly sleep for a couple of nights and had to get out of bed to lay some paint down.... Hope you all enjoy my new process... it's incredibly exciting to me... <3

FYI - This first portrait using my new technique is of my sweet Father, Butch Phillips - Handsome, jolly devil!
