Sweet Potato - Sold


I'm back to painting a few smaller pieces and this one seemed to come together pretty well...using the synthetic bristle brushes and no color ground.

Bride of Frankenstein- For Sale


Here's another stab at a portrait. I painted this from a black and white photo of Elsa Lanchester. That's enough portraiture for a little while. I think I'm going back to inanimate objects for awhile.

Hitchock - For Sale


I've wanted to try my hand at a few portraits lately. Here's the master of suspense...painted from a black and white photo. The color is all made up from other photo reference. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. I would like it to be a little looser and more expressive, but that's part of the learning experience.
Oil on canvas
9 x 12"
$350













Blue Robot - For Sale


Here's a sketch I did in an attempt to use a different set of brushes. Not sure I liked them, but here's the finished result. It's a reference photo I pulled from the web on a site that sell wind up robots.

Habaneros Revisited - Sold


Back by popular demand...not really. I decided to take another stab at the orange habaneros I painted a while ago. Just a slightly different approach; and this time they're painted on stretched canvas using a slightly softer bristle brush.

Orange Pepper Halved - For Sale


Here's is another version of the famed orange pepper. I operated on this one to get a more interesting perspective. Lots of stuff in there make it harder to paint.
