Start of 2012's figurative work

Below are my first works of 2012 to be published online. The first exhibits my continuing exploration of scraping away wet latex paint to create a contemporary figure from the black beneath. The second is a revisiting of a series I created in early 2010 with oil pastel.

"8th of January", latex paint on canvas, 48"x30", 2012

"1-16-12", water soluble oil pastel and graphite on duck cloth, 14"x18", 2012
