I shipped off a little painting I sold through ugallery. A very fancy shipping box as you can see!

Herd of Three
Three small acrylic paintings. One was done on commission and the others just for fun!
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.
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.
Jet Stream Shadow
Follow
This is an older painting, when blackbirds were a bit of a series. Once again I was building up heavy textured imagery.
Blackbird
This painting is a few years old. I was working in a very different way back then. Still focused on translucent acrylic colors but I was building up heavy translucent textures. The result was something that looked a lot like encaustic. I found too much time was spent waiting for heavy acrylic mediums and not enough time with a brush. Still there were some interesting results at times.
Mist on the wall
I put the hardware on this 20″x20″ acrylic painting.
