Curt Cignetti, Indiana Hoosier Painting - Draft

I’m currently working on two new Indiana Hoosiers football paintings: a custom portrait of quarterback and Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, and a piece of Coach Curt Cignetti (pictured below). Most of my paintings begin as ugly ducklings, and these are no exception. Some artists progress inch‑by‑inch, completing one small area before moving on; I’ve always preferred to advance every part of the canvas together. That approach often looks messier in the middle stages, but I trust the process and the vision of the finished work. To the casual observer it may seem like a disaster that will never resolve, yet it invariably finds its way—just as Coach Cignetti might suggest: Google me.
