Organic Diner

On the main drag in Fort Bragg we found this new diner called "Organic Diner". We stopped in for lunch and were very pleased with the result. I noticed this little girl sitting at a table next to us with I think a parent. I thought the image of her reaching for her food was adorable. This one is available for purchase. 12 by 9 inches $200.00.

Wave 27 (almost there)

This I need to punch up the shadows on the far left and call it a painting.

AFG ACEO Nude II

Another ACEO trading card nude that was done from life drawing sketches at Austin Figurative Gallery a couple of years ago.

ACEO Nude I

I recently revisited a few sketches from my AFG (Austin Figurative Gallery) days. As a result, I am working on a series of trading card nudes inspired by my life drawing sessions with AFG. That was a fun time. I had to go each Saturday to the shows. It was fun and it kept me engaged with the art community.

Rock Steady in Progress

This where I am with this one. Its fun and a real challenge to get the look of water flowing as you look down on it. I should be finished soon because these can easily be over worked.

Stage 4

Rock Steady in Progress

The second visit with this piece. It was inspired by a photo from the coast of Mendocino in California. Closer to town you can find these rocks sticking up out of the ocean. Its pretty cool to look down on them from a cliff which is usually how close I can get to them.

The first session.

Pastel On Display

As you can see I have refined this one a bit. I'm being patient with this because I think the scene does well by being a split between tight and loose. It's a balancing act as always. The surface is Richeson and the pastels: Unison and Terry Ludwig.
