First attempt

I have made an attempt at a portrait. I am not even going to show it at this time. It is very likely that I will never be showing it. I have been trying to recreate the spontaneous nature of my sketches in painting form. I think that's my favorite part of my drawings. In the loose and roughly drawn shapes something (most of the time unintentional) emerges. So I began a painting the way I draw. I had the idea of continuing the theme of aged seafarers which was partially achieved. But it the end result felt more like a crazy Nazi submarine captain zombie. Not something ya wanna hang in the kids room.

Okay...maybe I will show it. But you must know that I do not endorse this painting in any way!!!
