Self Portrait

Oooh. I don't really like this one.

Degas Copy

Edgar Degas "The Dance Lesson" 1879 Oil on Canvas, in the collection at the National Gallery of Art in DC.
Doing a copy makes you realize the precision that goes into a piece. Degas really was brillant and his sense of ease is impressive.

Green Lamp and La Grande Dame

This tiny little precious painting is now the property of Karma Ward. (the painting I did of the elephant in the background is property of Cheryl Carmona.)

Lauren P. (detail)

This was a really quick painting that I believe was kicked out in about 30 minutes. Although I had many, many starts that failed and got wiped out.

Self Portrait in Studio

Just a quick sketch. I really enjoy self portraits that have still lifes in them. Objects we own are so self reflective.

Closet on Bolton Street

View of Howard Street Bridge

A quick painting of the Howard Street Bridge.

A Man and a Woman

The male model creeped me out.

Windowsill Detail

Windowsill on North Ave.

A painting of my favorite flannel shirt. I was drinking a lot of Pellegrino at the time and there was always at least one bottle hanging around.

Dancing Figures 2

Dancing Figures 1

I think this is a path that I would like take in future figure paintings. Any thoughts?
