"Charcoal Portrait"

I apologize for not posting much lately. I haven't painted any oil paintings much because I've been painting walls & furniture for a home remodeling project. Painting is painting, but I have nothing new on canvas to share right now. The remodel should be done in a week or two. Here's a charcoal study from my past efforts to share. I like using charcoal with it's dark, rich blacks. Maybe it's time to start sketching again. I can think of several people to portray on paper. Especially my brother the ball player. I can visualize him now at the plate swinging the bat. Another idea to add to the project list!
