Lord Marmalade 2011

Brian Ferry

These paintings are the first of a series of painting from photographs.  There is something very satisfying about knowing what you are painting exactly down to the sun beam.  I am not saying that I am abandoning painting from memory but I am using this opportunity to learn about painting the figure in an environment that is already mapped out.  The subjects of these paintings are some of my favorite artists.  Lord Marmalade is unfinished at this point but I am interested in showing the process. 30''x30'' oil paint on panel 2011 Holly Coley.
