Finally finishing some earlier starts

These are some oil or acrylic paintings that I did a couple years ago. I was experimenting with the grisaille process (a grey scale underpainting).  I thought of them as studies in black and white, but now I feel they have more potential. I added brass to the 4x6x2" mini canvases of Mike playing the trumpet and PanPastel colouring to the 4x6x2" Jazz Singer and the 12x12" Night Trees.   I will stand them around the house to glance at for a while and see if anything demands my attention.
