Today I painted some boats from Greece. I really like boats so I may revisit this painting again perhaps in oil or larger on pastel.

Well this is kind of a mess. Nice day outside so I decide to paint in my new Florida room. Well, things were going fine until it started to get dark outside when I realized my Florida room doesnt have lighting. So I fudged it and made a "soft" flower. Will put up better lighting for more dramatic future plants.

Today I definitely wanted to do something different so contour drawing is what happened. I can get lost in these flowers with their twisting overlapping shapes.

I painted this today at a still life class. We were working from photographs and making things abstract. Well I didn't bring a photo so I used anothers. I like this painting, especially in person because your eye moves so fluidly throughout the painting. The texture in person is amazing.

I worked on a sketch today that is from a photo from the Arnold. Funny, I just remembered I actually made a drawing very similar to this in High School. Hopefully this will turn into a painting someday. I love the shadow reflections on the floor.

This is my competition piece for the Art at the Arnold event in Columbus, Ohio. I entered this in the contest and won second place! I love this painting, and the photo that it was taken from. I got to meet the girl on the right as well as her family so I really feel quite connected to this piece.

This is my first painting from the Art at the Arnold painting event in Columbus Ohio. The model is named Ashley and I worked on this for the morning session.
