Further progress, plus commission

yes yes yes.

I have sketched out the image for the large scale piece. I had to darken the photo quite a bit so you can see the lines, -the studio is actually a very light place.

The other piece (fun fact: I ALWAYS spell "piece" as "peice", and then correct it while telling myself 'all I have to do is spell "pie" and then add "ce"' ....I love pie, and yet it haunts me still)

Anyways, I started working on another commission, so I figured I'd put up what I've got so far.

New large scale piece in the works

I began preparations for a new large-scale oil piece.

Stretched a 3' by 5' canvas.

Gessoed some paper and a piece of 16" by 20" un-stretched canvas for preliminary studies.

Finished one study on paper last night.

I'll keep posting as it progresses.

You can see the sun coming in through the back of the canvas, kinda neat... wish I could paint like the sun...

Nine County Art Show, Honeywell Center, Wabash IN

Good news.

I recently entered in the afore-mentioned art show, along with some classmates and two of my professors.

All artists from the nine surrounding counties of the area were eligible to attend, -that meant me.

I entered three pieces, all done within the last year or so, and to my great joy all three got in!

Then to my even greater joy and surprise one of my paintings (a 3' by5' oil on canvas titled "Kiss, -Emotion, Motion) won first place in the painting category.

Yes.

I thought I'd post them.

If ever you are interested in prices or commissions, just let me know.
