Raw Expression

​(Click on Image for Full Painting) Continue to scroll down for more
We call it "Resting Bitch Face", but is it much more than that? I believe it is.  This resting face, I believe, is our true self without trying to be happy, sad or angry.  I am exploring the true look of others. The raw expression. 

My painting reflects this desire to capture the raw expression of our human state.  These paintings are done in a direct painting method or called wet into wet, one sitting.  Each painting is done in about 4-5 hours, focusing on the in-between expression that looks back.  

Raw ​

​'Raw' pushes some of the qualities of the other series 'Raw Expression'. 
Each painting above is done in one sitting, also called direct painting, taking about 1-2.5 hrs.  During this short painting session, my brush strokes push the qualities of what is considered finished.
I am invested in the raw expression of the 'resting face'.  
I am invested in how to capture this human state quickly.
