Beautiful Portraits in Paintings by Matt Talbert from Los Angeles.

From the Brush of Artist - "You’ve heard it many times before, “don’t be precious with your painting,” but I’m going to take it a step further.  Be cruel to your painting, abuse your painting, make it so unprecious that it is no longer a painting, but a series of emotional marks.  In every successful painting I have done this year there is an act of destruction that must take place before it can be built back up into something much greater.  Scrape it out, throw around large piles of paint, let it dry and sand it down.  I’ll admit that this is not something I could have done years ago, but if you are confident in your ability, deconstruction will be a liberating way to expand your painting horizons."
