Three Paintings...and a Drawing

I finished one of the paintings which I've been doing by using photographs as references and have started two others.  I'm not completely happy with these paintings so far but I am really liking the direction I'm going with them, and I'm excited to see where it takes me.

Here are a few drawings from a couple weeks ago, unfortunately I can't remember what music I was listening to while working on them.

This week I've decided to paint using photographs and other references rather than completely from my imagination.  I started painting this one today, and so far I'm pretty happy with where it's going.
