Imagined Portraits (and real ones too)

Sometimes I do portraits. Of people. Here are some recent paintings headed towards finish. The two larger portraits are based on "real" people, but in imaginary settings. Ella, a girl from my neighborhood in Seattle, was nice enough to sit for me for a painting of her as Alice in Wonderland. Brian is a friend/coworker at Michaels Arts & Crafts here in Moscow. He said he wanted to look like an admiral... 

And the young lady with the whispy blonde hair? Well, she's just super cute.
