Okay, I apologize for my tardiness of late. With the holidays and travel, I’ve just not been that attentive to my online presence and keeping all up to date. With the start of the new year now, I’ll do my best to stay on top of things. Here is a new figure study for my next painting. I’m still working out the composition and size of the canvas, but I hope to be up and running with it by mid-week. Along with this drawing, I’ve done a few more than I’m pleased with, and will post a bit later this month.

Study for a new, as of yet untitled, painting.

Sorry for my tardiness in posting anything new here! I’m down to the wire finishing all works for my upcoming exhibition at EVOKE Contemporary in Santa Fe next month. Towards the end of this month I’ll be posting all of the pieces from the show at kentwilliams.com.

Here’s another progress run of images (very consolidated, but covers from inception to finish) of my painting, Blond Natalia in Studio Arrangement, that will be included in both the Re-Presenting the Nude exhibition in July and Eklektikos, my solo exhibition of new paintings and drawings in September at EVOKE Contemporary in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Finally, I feel like I’m making good progress with the show with several new completed works and a couple of others up and running. Still though, it looks like I’ll be pushing till the day!
