“Like I said, there’s a lot of backstory that nobody gets to hear (or maybe nobody wants to know? Ha!).”

I actually find this particular aspect quite compelling. It adds to the uplifting nature of what Bryan does to occasionally be reminded that, in spite of his amazing skill as an artist, he’s still also a normal man with a normal life. It makes the artist an inspiration on a par with his art.

Thanks for the encouragement Mike! I will do my best. Already this painting has presented some unique challenges. I’ll write more later today. :)

I am thrilled by this new idea you two have had. Bryan is a fantastic artist, and I love reading his posts and following his works, but I am often left… hanging. Another poster to help keep us filled in, especially one with such a unique perspective of the work (and the artist), is very welcome. Of course, I hope this doesn’t mean we’ll be seeing less of Bryan.

This new work looks exciting. I love seeing the stages they go through, and I agree that the initial block-in sketch is perhaps my favorite.
