Figure Paintings

My favorite subjects to paint are portraits and the human figure. Here's a recent painting from a lovely live model in costume. (I need to get more of these photographed and posted.) See others in person at my Dec. 3rd Open Studio.

Oil on Canvas, 20x16, Quin Sweetman

I paint from the live model at least once per week, mostly using the limited palette inspired by Anders Zorn.

Just a few of the Paintings-A-Day I've done during the Painting November Challenge. Most are 8x6". A great way to keep up the practice and explore new subject matter for fun. I will have a studio show on December 3rd. Please save the date.
