Buy Prints!

I finally set-up my Etsy print shop. If anyone wants to buy a cheap print or two head over there and see what is available. So far it is only my more recent paintings. If you want a print of a specific painting from the past that is not listed let me know and we can discuss the possibilities.

I have been very busy lately with a variety of summer related activities. I have been painting all this time, but most are small studies not worth posting. This is the start of a series of paintings of figures wrapped in cloth with both light and dark backgrounds. Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Colors used: Titanium White, Raw Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Prussian Blue, Dioxazine Purple.

I recently submitted this painting to a "Crater Lake" show at the Guistina gallery. It's possible they were only looking for landscape paintings for this show, but maybe they'll accept my anti-landscape still life just the same. Painting the map was kind of fun. Next time I paint a map it will be at a more visible angle.

Colors used: Titanium White, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Orange, Alizarin Crimson, Prussian Blue.

I finally finished this deer skull piece. It took quite awhile to complete, and I'm kind of tired of looking at dead bones all day. My next painting will have to be something bursting with life.

Colors used: Titanium White, Raw Sienna, Cadmium Orange, Alizarin Crimson, Prussian Blue.

For some reason I can't find a way to photograph this painting without the lines at the bottom appearing curved, even though they are straight when you hold a ruler to it. Oh well. Someday I'll develop the perfect painting photographing method.

Oil paints used: Titanium White, Raw Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Prussian Blue, and Ivory Black

I have been working a a different style of painting lately and practicing it through a series of still lives. These paintings combine traditional still life objects with actual paint used to enhance them as well as a more abstract painting in the background to improve the composition. The background painting was done by my 3 year-old son. My version is mostly accurate to his original artwork.

Available for purchase. Message me for details.

Oil paints used: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, Raw Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, and Prussian Blue.

I spent some extra time to work in more texture to the wings so that they didn't just look like blurry swipes of paint. Final painting done with the following colors: Titanium White, Raw Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Red, Prussian Blue, Ivory Black, and a little bit of Cadmium Orange in the hair.

Only a little more left to do in this painting, but it's mostly finished. I need to wait for the paint to fully dry before I can finish it. It's never a good idea to work over tacky paint.
