With the recent deaths of 2 of my favorite figurative artists, Lucian Freud and Jeffrey Catherine Jones, I've found myself reviewing their work and reinvigorating my own interest in figure painting.

 Here are some more samples of the studies and figure paintings I've been working on lately. I picked up a few more art model reference books and chose poses I liked. I particularly like the Art Model series because it gives you 24 views of the same pose, which is really nice if you've ever been in a figure drawing class and couldn't get the view you wanted, or if you're making a sculpture.
