Childlike Whimsy

These are pieces from my "Children's Story" Portfolio. The piece on the far left isn't completed, but It'll be exciting once it is. It's something I've been painting on and off for a long time. I'll get more into this later. Until then, Enjoy!

Painting for fun

Greetings Art Lovers!
Here is a piece I just completed. I've been doing a lot of work for other people and I had a hankering for painting something for myself. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy whatever I'm working on at the time and the end result is always worth it, but it's nice to sometimes paint something that speaks to me personally ya know?
I plan on doing more of that in the near future. I want to fill my home with art.
The cool thing about this is that it was done for fun and it's serving a purpose in getting my name out there. This particular piece will be displayed in a gallery in San Francisco next week. Perhaps it will sell and perhaps it won't. If it does, great! If not, that's ok too. I can always hang it on my wall. I'm just glad Kim asked me to display anything at all.
For more info on that Gallery go to www.moderneden.com
I wish I could go to the opening! I bet it's going to be great. Major Props to Kim and Brad for all they've done. That's all for now. Time to go think of another piece to start.
And Remember, the Force will be with you...always.

A better progress picture

Here's where I am now. It'll be even better tomorrow night! Hopefully I finish it on Friday. Enjoy!

Comission progress!

This is another commission that's being done for extended family. I just wanted to post my progress. It's coming along nicely. It's Acrylic on Canvas board. I combined two old photographs together so it would look like both people were in the same place. They are husband and wife. I'm excited about finishing this one. I can't wait to see how it's going to look. Enjoy!

More Art

Here are some pieces from my "Feminine Portfolio." That's what I call it for now because I have a number of pieces that sort of fall into this category. Enjoy!

Some Art

I just wanted to post some art for you to see. It's about time I do so! I used different techniques and styles, but I tried to capture each person in a certain way and I feel I was successful. The "Mulder" painting is done in Watercolor. The horse painting was a Commissioned piece. It's fairly large (40by60in) and was the first time I'd worked in Acrylic on such a large scale. The man with the Rifle was also a commission and is also Acrylic on Canvas.

I'm ready for lots more work. That's where you (the reader) come in. I'm always eager to create something for someone that they can cherish forever.
