Sketches for proposed paintings...Sometimes, before trying to paint on a real canvas, I make little pencil sketches of my ideas. Sometimes the sketches come out better than the finished product. Here are a few examples:
"Boy and Girl with halos and hearts"
This idea never made it to canvas.
I may still try it someday.

"Man"
This now exists on a large canvas, and is actually one of those rare instances
where the painting achieves the original vision.

Trilogy - Part One
This
is the first part of an ill-fated (and never completed) trilogy. I intended
to have three canvases based on similar themes. This one was translated
on canvas, with disappointing results.

Trilogy - Part Two
The
second part of the trilogy. This one also exists on canvas, but miserably
failed to meet my vision. I abandoned the project after completing the
second canvas.

Trilogy - Part Three
This
was the proposed final segment of the trilogy. The painting was was never
attemted.

"Angel
with Halo and Black Sky"
This sketch evolved into a real painting. The results look very much like
this.

"Guy Stabbing Another Guy"
I painted this on a real canvas, with disappointing results. I will paint
over it someday soon.

"Boy and Girl Kissing and Having Sex"
I painted a full-size color version of this on watercolor paper. It came
out very nice.

"Guy
in Costume"
I never painted this because it seemed like a stupid idea after I did
the sketch.
