My Chair

This is a study for a commission that I completed years ago. My practice is to execute a number of studies and final paintings to give the client a lot to choose from. Usually they purchase more than one piece. I enjoy painting pets for people as they are part of the family.

Hallway Strategizing (pastel study)

Exploratory sketch

The watercolor version.

This is the pastel study for the watercolor version of this piece. Ive been focusing on the courthouse hallways and corridors more because that is where the real deals are made. The expressions are great as well as the body language.

Forest Path

Years ago I stayed with a group in a cabin in Bastrop State Park. This group of trees and the path was right next to our cabin. It was a fun weekend of walking in the woods and being away from stuff. This was an early attempt at plein air painting.

Stoic Watercolor Study

This is the watercolor version of "Stoic". My plan is to do the larger "final" version in pastel. I worked on some Cotman watercolor paper that I bought from Johanne Morin a fellow blogger. The watercolor study is more focused on values, shapes and color separation.
