Busy, busy...
My goodness, I've been meaning to take photos of more paintings for the blog. Thing is, recently, things seem to really be happening for me, big time, and I've just been so busy. Another group show is coming up this Thurs., and then I have a solo show coming up in ten weeks (which isn't very long, in painting terms)!! I promise to post more paintings soon!

Giving Credit Where It's Due
All photos, including my avatar portrait, were taken by Fredrik Reiz. He does a wonderful job, is very easy to work with, uses top of the line equipment, and is available for commissions. Drop me a line, if you'd like to hire him.

Today's (9/30/09) Oil Sketch
"Little Black Bird"
3 inches x 4 inches (76.2mm x 101.6mm)
Oil on Solid Oak, Prepped w/ P.V.A and Lead Ground
Ecstatically overwhelmed by the newly arrived colors and smells of Autumn, I opted to perch one of my stuffed birds amongst some branches, outside of my studio; so that I could sit and enjoy the entirety of what this gorgeous morning had to offer. I apologize for the glare, this one ended up being quite thickly painted and is still very wet. I will post a better pic, after it has had a few days to dry. Cheers.

"Luminescent Reminiscence"20 inches x 24 inches (508mm x 609.6mm)
Oil Sketch On Stretched Canvas, Prepped w/P.V.A and Gesso

Sunday's (9/20/09) Oil Sketch
"Stream of Consciousness"19 inches x 22 inches
Oil sketch on Bristol
Prepped with P.V.A. and old-fashioned Gesso
This was my morning oil sketch from the day before I started the blog. Mind/dreamscape, I often have no idea what these are going to look like until they are finished. I only plan out what sort of palette I want to work with, and choose whether I want the composition to be vertical or horizontal; from there, I move forward in an "ad-lib" fashion.

Today's (9/21/09) Oil Sketch
I try to do these at "lightning speed," primarily using large size brushes, through out the duration of the painting. It's a good way to wake up/warm up, and get the day's work rolling.
19 inches x 22 inches
