The Dream Pilgrimage

20" x 16"

Oil on Canvas

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.

Kitchen Helper

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

10" x 8"

Oil on Canvas Paper

http://jphfinearts.net/

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.

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.

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.
