Below is a great set of photos from Boris Vallejo posted from his person blog (”Paint and Brush” - see below for link to original post). He offers some great photos:
He writes…
Every since I turned professional I have been talking about doing paintings now and then just for myself. The idea of painting something just for fun is both amazingly appealing and incredibly terrifying, so I mostly talk about it. However, several years ago, when I first met my
Julie, she showed me a drawing that she had done long before she became a pro herself. I was so impressed with the strength of her drawing that I decided to do a painting based on her sketch (with her permission, of course) The result fell way short of the power of the original drawing. Here are both versions, hers, bold and powerful, mine, professional but lacking in drama.
Since then, almost twenty years later, I have done a couple of other pieces “just for fun”. Here are two more of those. Some day I will do more, I am sure.
