Out of Place

While at the beach last summer I saw a man on TV with an unforgettable face. I paused the show for a few moments to sketch him. I tried to paint him at the beach, but it didn't work. It wasn't until I revisited the sketch on a 16x20 canvas that he started to come back. Here's an early look at the painting.




And here's a little more progress. The face is coming along, but I'm not sure what I'm doing with the shirt.























And here's the final version. For the text, I used Clarendon as a reference, because it matched the TV show. There's some glare on the canvas though from the lights. I need to fix that. The small version kind of clips out the darks.
