Head obsessed

Since 2010, K Chesebro has been blogging his successes and missteps in painting at K Chesebro Is Obsessed With Art (http://obsessed-with-art.blogspot.com). He expresses his disappointment—“I have been unhappy with a lot of my recent work … it is OK…it happens”—and his enthusiasm—“Painting heads is an addiction to me.” While he favors painting portraits, he shares still lifes, landscapes and other figurative studies he’s done, too. One of his strongest portraits is of a young man in brown hat and crimson scarf, posted on February 28, 2011, that depicts lovely lighting illuminating his blue iris and an unfinished edge, giving the subject suggested motion and life. The artist will show a collection of his portraits—and maybe even this one—in Head Hunting at Capital ArtWorks.
