Head On
This is a small acrylic painting I just completed. I am including a photo I took of the under painting. A little glimpse into the process on this one
Texture self portrait
This is an older painting. I built up a heavily textured substrate and painted over that rough surface with acrylics.
Longhorn (commission)
This is a small acrylic painting I am doing on commission. It is 6″x6″ and I decided to do a couple of them while I was at it. I will post the second one later in the week!
All Four
Four finished paintings. These are all 18″x18″.
Two sky paintings
These two paintings have now been completed. I recently applied a couple coats of varnish and took this photograph in my studio.
Since I am moving these photos may be the last taken in my studio. For the near future I will be without a dedicated work space. I will probably be working on smaller pieces… I must keep working!
Bison
This is a painting I did ages ago. I was painting over a very coarse texture created with modeling paste.
I have always been a fan of bison, though they are a tragic symbol.
Two Finished Paintings
These two paintings were just varnished. Some final studio photography!
Experimental Crow
This is an older piece. An experiment in texture, color and paint application. The results were interesting but chaotic.
Totem
Sometimes I will do little abstract studies. I generally only reference them for color or interesting brushwork or mark making. This one stuck with me a bit. It led to a lot of other representational ideas but not sure they captured the simple allure of this.
