Study for The Assassination Room

Throughout the month of June, all I made were small studies on paper. My work is changing and thus taking longer to get compositions down. After endless studies for this particular subject, I think I've finally made a study that can be a starting point for a larger canvas:

Pen and pencil on paper
19 x 24 inches

This is, of course, based on the famous photo:

Pete Souza/White House

The painting will be 57 x 72 inches. I'm not going to post the other drawings. I'm not sure why, but I feel like when work is changing I really need to keep the process private and figure things out in complete isolation, otherwise it's just too stressful.

I've also been making studies for another piece, The Juggler, but that one's not quite ready to post yet...
