Stormy sky

My recent commission for Andie R...

Mini-portraits

New challenge: fast paintings. These were done in two hours, from life, with a limited palette... each one is 5x7 inches.

New Meat / Old Meat

Continuing the "Meat" series... The paintings so far have been small panels but I'm thinking of doing some large-scale works next.

Meat #3 - atmospheric

Meat #2 - cut and hung

New work!

Hey everyone, as you may know my first year of grad school is done! I am elated and very proud and amazed at the progress I have made. What a great year it has been. Now for a slew of posts re-capping my best work...

A charcoal figure drawing of Morgan (approx. 22x28 inches)

A copy after Italian Renaissance master Andrea del Sarto

Recent work

These are a few recent still lifes, the first is a Japanese toy (which also happens to be a stapler) on a Dixie cup. When I was composing this image, I felt like the kitty was regarding me from her perch, almost like she's on a throne.

The second image is one of my favorites. I was elated when it sold at the New York Academy of Art's Deck the Walls event to raise money for the school.

Please post your thoughts and impressions!
