Expressionist/Impressionist

Here I am really focusing on working with this technique and focusing on portraits and other figurative work.
I will be doing more in this style, but for this series I have decided to add a halo around most of my figures...
I think it harks back to that fascination with old school religious iconography, the simplicity of it, and the way a simple circle around the head can add this new layer of meaning; grandeur, spiritualism, divinity???

Anyway Ill let you make up your own minds about the pieces... Enjoy!
