I added some drawings and paintings to the gallery section last night. I might put up a couple more, as time allows. I'm not sure if I mentioned it, as things have been so crazy lately, but during the last Oak Leaf Artist Guild meeting I was voted onto the board as Website Coordinator. Actually, it was more that I accepted the job, than got voted in.. but saying Read More
"Look of Love Show" deadline for submission is this weekend; and of course I mistakenly thought I had two more weeks. That means that I have to double time it. Unfortunately I have a really busy week, and full weekend... so it should be a real photo finish. Below I've got two more images of "The Look of Love" in progress. In the one directly below I focused Read More
Below is a photo of the a still life I'm doing for the "Look of Love Show" coming up next month along with an image of the painting in progress. I worked a little more on the Mill since I last posted (see below). I've been concentrating on a layout for the image that will go underneath this one, and I'm thinking it will be a montage-like image with Read More
I received word this past weekend that Genny Glosier's centerpiece was the winner of Best of Show for the Marti Gras Charity Event. Of course I wish mine had won, but I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was so much fun to make, and it reminded me how much fun it can be to work three dimensionally. Oh, and did I mention it was for a good Read More
This is a detail of the St. Bernard painting after I've worked on it a little more. I still have a bit of work to do on the head, and I had to get more reference to piece together to get what I have so far; but he is nearly there. Close up you can see some of the layering and texture of the background;some of the layers are slick, others Read More
As promised, here are some images of the pieces I've been working on for the "Puppies are Biodegradable Show." Please note that these images are of pieces I recently started and are thus still in progress. It might be hard to see, but the background consists of paper glued on and painted over to create texture. The angry red-orange slash in the middle of the painting was part of the Read More
I've been working on the pieces for the "Puppies are Biodegradable" show, trying to expand on some of my original ideas. Here is what I have at this point. St. Bernard the Rescue Dog: I've gotten as far as roughing in the St. Bernard and working out the overall layout. This piece is going to contain a textured background (care of an old collage painting that I'm re-purposing for Read More
Below I've attached an image taken from www.framations.com of a small selection of the Centerpieces created for the Marti Gras Event. For more information go to www.bcifoundation.org/Events.htm and click the tab "Behind the Mask."
Below I have pictures of the finished Marti Gras Centerpiece along with one of the concept sketches that I did. When doing a concept sketch it's generally more of a diagram with text and notes than a sketch. The real purpose is to get some ideas on paper before I forget, and since there isn't really a client involved I don't have to worry too much about Read More
The Marti Gras Centerpiece is complete, I hope to have some information and concept sketches up by the end of the weekend. However, right now I want to share some of my ideas for a new project I’m going to work on for a Show/Benefit that was introduced to me at a meeting at Framations Gallery (where my work is currently on display). Several pieces from a show from Pennsylvania called Read More
