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

Bread and Wine with Blue Paint

Bread and Wine with Blue Paint
10" x 8"
Oil on Canvas Paper


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.

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.

Redemption (Work in Progress)

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.

I thought I would try my hand at doing a more Alla Prima portrait of my friends' children. It isn't totally Alla Prima because it took me more than one sitting, however I didn't repaint very much between days.

Painted using the following Colors: Titanium White, Raw Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Umber, Prussian Blue, and Ivory Black.
