This painting was more of my atmospheric cloud work. I was particularly fond of the energy and chaos that the brush strokes expressed.

The Water
Water is mesmerizing and soothing to watch. This year I have painted a number of vacant water scenes. They are also fairly mesmerizing to paint.
Gloom & Yellow
A simple cloudscape that I completed the other day. This one has a lot of subtle character that was difficult to capture with the camera.
Hello?
This was a self-portrait I did as an experiment. It is composed of 4 paintings on plexiglass of my mug from slightly different angles. The underlying paintings were done with warm translucent colors. The top most painting is the boldest with the darkest values. I stacked them all in a frame which created an intriguing result. There is a very physical depth between the paintings that gives it a real sense of volume.
I photographed it from different angles to give you an idea how the color shifts and the image changes.
