Thanksgiving Painting Week
I took the week off from work and spent a lot of time in the studio working on four paintings. I’ll post the work on three of them here, the fourth one I finished and will post a final image once I get a better (or at least less glare filled) image. First up is…

Labradorite Icosahedron Portrait
Oil on ACM Panel – 12″x12″ – ©2023 Jeremy C. Sparks I’ve been trying to get back into the studio process.
