Still Life Sketch - Melon

I started this the other day and am considering leaving it really loose.

Wine and Melon

Here is a painting I did on Sunday. I'll try to post a better picture soon.

Lamp and Watermelon [In Progress]

Thanks to Kate Hicks I started this with some reluctance but am really enjoying where it has gone so far. There is still work to be done. (This isn't the best picture of the painting - A lot of detail is lost.)

Art Museum Drive

This is the view looking west across from the BMA.

Shelf with Hildon Bottles, Hand Mixer

Hildon Water Bottles with Fish Bank (Detail)

This is a detail of another shelf painting that I have already posted.

Portrait

Elena

Try not to judge the poor depiction of her hands!
Elena is the creator of "Life after Lisa" an online drama.

Arch in the Formal Garden

Here is a quick drawing of a view of the formal garden at the arboretum.

Self Portrait - long night

This is pretty old and done in the early hours in the morning after a long night in the studio. It was the last of about 12 portraits I had done through the course of the night. I think it shows.

Small Still Life

The painting is only maybe 2 x 2.5 inches. This might be its actual size.

Teacup with Lightbulb

This painting was done very quickly and I left most of the surface unfinished. I thought that it really showed how objects emerge from absence to presence. The Pellegrino bottle is captured mid-birth while the teacup and lightbulb are pretty well realized.
