Portrait of a Super Hero

This is a detail of a painting I have been working on a for a while.  I think I am getting close to the finish line.  I still need to refine some color relationships and tone down the background.  I love these superhero poses.  Children have such active imaginations at this age.  Too bad it doesn't last forever!

Super Hero Abstraction

"Super Hero Abstraction", 6 x 8, Oil on Paper

Another little study in my super hero series.  I am eager to take some of these studies and make some bigger paintings out of them.  I love the pose here.  The issue will be to make the composition interesting but still simple and somewhat abstract on a larger piece.   I'll let you know how it turns out!
