Two similar-themed paintings revisited

Two similar-themed paintings revisited

I’ve posted about this before–working on two paintings with the same theme simultaneously. These are two paintings of my son Keith in the studio standing in front of a painting of himself. I hope you can tell that these paintings aren’t finished. I recently had a session with the lower one and it’s almost finished. The top one has a lot of work left; the face is merely blocked in.

Regular readers know I frequently post about works in progress, but casual readers often think everything I post is finished, which is hardly the case.

Here is the (finished) painting that Keith was posing in front of:

I’ve used the white chair in several paintings. I like its sensuous shape.

 

UPDATE. Here is the finished version of the painting in the first photo:
