I finished this painting today!  It's painted in a Surrealist style, much in the manner of Salvador Dali and Giorgio de Chirico.  Hope you enjoy seeing it.

Clementine's portrait is complete!  Awww, she's my little Snookums!

My current project is a painting of my cat, Clementine!  Here it is, in an early stage.  I don't think the camera really captures the etherial blue of the sky and the mountain shadows, however.  Photos of paintings always look so harsh!  Even after adjustment.


Also lately, I'm learning about how to custom mat and frame artwork.  It's quite interesting, and will be a useful skill for me to have.


I'll post another update of the painting soon.

I have finished this painting!   :)

This is an update, of the progress on my current painting! 


The photo which I am referencing, to paint the scene in the upper right, can be viewed at this page:

I've started a new acrylic painting!  This is a personal project.  


I thought you might like to see what a painting looks like, in the early stages.  Here I've basically drawn everything out, and have started to indicate dark / light values with paint.  Colors will be added later.

The image in the upper right is referenced from a well known photograph of the artists Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst.  Dorothea died hardly a month ago, so I thought that a tribute painting to her would be appropriate.   


Guess I'd better get back to painting!  :)

I finished this still life painting today.

New still life painting!  :)

This is my most recent painting!  It's the last picture, which completes the course that I took with Dan Edmondson.  Now I shall move on to setting up more of my own still lifes to paint!

Dorothea Tanning has died

Okay, not a good day.  Just heard that Dorothea Tanning died yesterday, at age 101.  


R.I.P. Dorothea.  

I completed another painting, as an assignment for Daniel Edmondson's painting course!
