Time to post I suppose

So I've basically gone a semester and a summer without updating ... but I'll make this a short one. Basically in my studio I've been focusing a lot on drawing, with a couple small paintings on the side. My main subject has been the figure, sometimes going into a more abstract area that I would like to explore more..

And two very lonely paintings ...


It Has Been a Long Time

It has been too long since I posted anything for the blog. Here are a few quick paintings that I have been working on over my winter break. The two paintings of oranges are both one session paintings. (approx 3 hours) The kitchen painting was done in approx. 9 hours and is a lot larger than the other two.

I was trying something a little different with these paintings. I used a limited palette composed mainly of earth pigments and one or two prismatic pigments. Unfortunately, the picture quality is really poor.




Still Life, Winter Landscape

Its been awhile since I have posted anything. But Once again I bring some recent work
of mine. The hardest part of the winter break is over, Christmas. I will now be producing more work and posting it all to my viewers. I hope you enjoy.


This is my most recent study, done as of tonight. I spent on average 3 hours on this piece.
I am happy with its current level of progress and will be finishing it up within the next few days.

This is a landscape painting done a week ago at my friend Jane Winter's house. I have never painting in the snow before. I will say this, its quite a challenge. One that I would like to attempt again.

Merry Christmas!

I apologize for the horrible picture quality, but Merry Christmas to my fellow bloggers and visitors! May you all have a blessed and peaceful Christmas. See you all in January!

"Testimony"

A small preview of the book, entitled "Testimony", that I'm currently finishing up. These are images four, five, and twenty-two from a total of twenty-two images painted in watercolor. Each image is 7 and 7/16" by 10 and 3/16".



Sculpture Session II

Here is a four foot sculpture that I am working on in one of my classes. This is my progress after two sessions with the model.
