Sorrow Eyes: A study in evolving emotions through change of method

I started working on this series last year, after a comment was passed by a dear friend and artist, Blake Sandberg, about an oil painting of mine that struck him.  He told me that he was interested in seeing how he could see this image in different forms.  So, I began to work on ways of retaining the delineated mood while creating something new with each painting–varying shapes, dis-similar sizes, uncommon colors, or mismatched surfaces; I think each one has a different spirit.
