Today marked the last day of my month-long show, "Faces of Frisco," a series of 23 oversized acrylic paintings. We had a good range of subjects from the town, including our past Mayor, the Manager of our Double AA baseball team and the Snow Cone Lady. What took hours to put up came down in about seven minutes. It's all packed away in my studio. The people in the paintings have been offered a chance to buy the portraits for the cost of materials and a six-pack or two. This was the first time I had undertaken a theme for my paintings and I found it eliminated one of the hardest parts of painting for me--what to paint. I just moved on from face #4 to face #5 and so on. I've got another theme picked out for a series of paintings but I will keep that under my hat until I see for myself that it's extendable.
