Scars & Stripes - Esther


I'm working with a lovely person on a project for breast cancer.  The finalized paintings will be made into prints and prints on canvas.  This commission combines character design with portrait painting (one of my all-time favorites.)  These are the concept sketches I submitted of "Esther" - she's an older woman whose undergone a double mastectomy.  She's sitting in a rocking chair sipping some scotch (single malt, hopefully.)  The top sketch is an overall abstract of the idea, the bottom is a tighter face sketch to get the personality established.  I'll post the final painting in a few days.
