New Site on the Way

I'm working to revamp the blog, and perhaps connect it to a full site.

New finished paintings

Here are the latest motor-head paintings.

Works in progress

Some pieces that I'm expecting to finish soon.

The First Day in Paris

No, haven't been to Paris, but read this piece by Edmondo de Amicis, "The First Day in Paris" and was inspired to sketch this. He talks about the lights, and crowds of Paris at the end of the 1800s. Read it if you get a chance.

Owl and the Moon

Another quick sketch painting.

Rhinos

Quick pic of a gouache and charcoal piece.

New Shell Pieces

I've been working on some new shell pieces. These works are my way of showing how these natural forms inspire imagery to me. My hope is that people will take from this a new way of looking at the world around them.

The first is titled 'The Dance' and the second is titled 'The Tortise and the Raven'. The painting around the shells expands on the original imagery. Tried to give it a watery feel.

Art Crawl 2011

Thanks to everyone who came out for Art Crawl this last weekend -- and especially those that came to visit us at Mother Dog Studios.

I promise that more new and exciting things are coming to this blog.  I'm working on a redesign, and setting up a section of the studio to do art photography.  That should increase my posting.
