When I paint the human figure I generally like to take what I obviously know best, the female, to as many edges as I can, as in the two Torso paintings. Periodically I like to do portraits from live models. Particularly challenging were the early Narkissos paintings presenting the male as odalisque.

Portrait commissions welcome.
