Head Study - Wen LaBarre-Borowicz

Head Study
2005, oil on masonite, 8" x 10". This is actually a portrait of my wife Wen. She was 6 months pregnant at the time and now says it looks nothing like her. This approach to portraiture is a bit invasive but hopefully some honesty and integrity come through. An older Italian woman came into the gallery a few months back and noticed it. Without any knowledge of the subject she informed me that the woman in the painting was pregnant. She said this with complete confidence and I was very happy.

Sketchbook Heads

ink and acrylic
First I made some shapes with the yellow paint and then
drew the heads - a good exercise.

Sketchbook

Mixed media & collage
A little sketchbook action - maybe I'll post stuff like this more
often. This book is pretty small - 5" x 7"

This painting is from a series called Training Secrets for Painters. In this series I use martial arts training as a metaphor for the practice of painting - the titles are the obvious clue there. Remember those black and white teach yourself books - like How to Become a Kung Fu Master in Ten Easy Steps? This series is the humorous version for painters. This one deals with the all important issue of volume and has a little reference to Manet's Dejeuner sur l'Herbe.
