These closeups are of an Illustration for BAM bass angler magazine. I wish I could share the whole piece the article, but not intil it has been published. I am sorry I have not been as active as I wanted to here on my blog, but that is all about to change. Have a great day, comments always welcomed!

I just wanted to say first say I am sorry I have not been posting much lately! I have been having alot of home improvements in my house, Bathroom  remodeling, re painting etc. I have some new clients from “FriendSend” for some illustrations of a globe with different main locations high lighted.

I thought while waiting on the deposit for my next assignment, I decided to try to paint sa classic actor Humphry Bogart. Still is process.

Here is some close ups of what I am currently working I am painting digital, but I did have an undertone that was traditional! You will see more of the final one completed

I thought this would be fun to share. The other day I was approached by a young gentleman that wanted to propose thru a suprise with a Caricature. Here is a testimony (read more on http://www.larserarts.com/testimonials from the Brian!:
“Lars was great I contacted him about helping me with my proposal while at Pier 60 in Clearwater. He was great! Helped me plan it in advance and his work was awesome! And she said yes!!!!” Brian Sharlow

I really had a great time with learning the Dutch Flemish approach to Oil painting with Thomas Fluharty on http://www.schoolism.com Here are the assignment I submitted and I had a really hard time trying get a photo of it with out a light reflection. I also layed the painting flat on the ground with the light hitting it on its left side just like it is in the painting. You can really see the build up in the high lighted area. Have a blessed day
