[Clayton J. Beck III]

These are some studies I did a few years back and am studying my studies. What I mean is that I am trying to understand, with a few years of maturity behind me, if I would have or could have done things differently to better effect. I try to study my own work as I would any other painter's work where I am trying to get into the head of the artist. It is an interesting experiment. I recommend trying it and be honest. Point up your good points as well as not so good ones. If you don't recognize what you've done well, you may loose it and not be able to repeat it. Always nice to have tools in your box that you know will work well for you in a pinch, especially when working from life.
