Baxter and a Young Man Holding a Flower
The portrait of Baxter has made me want to paint more portraits of horses. The Young Man Holding a Flower is my effort to learn more about indirect painting, after having taken a class with John Wellington who is an expert of the technique. Tomorrow I will begin glazing over this underpainting.

Al Delmar
This is a small painting I did today of a boxer’s face that I originally painted at 30 x 40 inches in 2011. Al Delmar was a middleweight boxer in the 1920’s.
