Portraits!

Portraiture is what got me into art! To finally be able to get a likeness with paint and a brush is what I had wanted for a few years now. I think I got it. Yet something in the back of head keeps putting me down because that is just technique and I have such a hard time with concept. What is my art work about? why do I paint? What could be so important to me that I must paint about it for an unknown period of time? Sometimes I'll think of something, but later I think it is too cheesy or too popular. Anyhow, here are some quick portraits I did 2 months ago.

These were all really fast, maybe 10 hrs each? I should start logging in my hrs.
