Finally getting around to editing pictures from the annual St. Louis artists studio open house weekend. It took place over a month ago. I go from place to place, learn about the artists and their work, then ask if I can take some candid portraits in their workspace.
This is my friend Henryk Ptasiewicz, who has appeared in these pages before. I first met him when he was painting en plein air in Citygarden while I was shooting downtown. His style is at once fresh, original and accessible, using loose brushstrokes to create a rhythm of vivid and darker colors.
More of these to come.

Indeed nice paintings where you can see that its done with paint and paintbrush and not with photoshop.
Both Henryk and his portraits are quite handsome.
Great portraits of a very talented man.
I do like his artistic style.
Very nice. I like how they're both seated in a similar manner.
Excellent portrait shot Bob, I do remember Mr. Ptasiewicz painting en plein air, he has muchas talent!
