New Piece Done

My brother sent me this photo of himself in egypt.

I've titled it "Brother"

Oil on paper, 22" by 33".

New piece, and beginnings of newer piece

Fiance got me a set of brown conte for easter. I was so enamoured with the three shades of brown it offered that I drew this. I also wanted to try watercolor technique that a friend showed me... thus, conte on watercolor-toned paper... siannas, ochres, russets and umbers, mmmmm....

I titled it (Love Poem, Part 6) after a part of a poem I wrote about her.

Specifically one stanza:

With hair like a crown

Of female beauty lying

In curls of dark value

Next is the start of a peice on gessoed 300 lb watercolor paper from a photo of my brother in egypt. Will post as it progresses/when I feel like it.

Finished commissioned piece

"Jax commission"

Oil on masonite, 16" X 20"

I became enamored with the backround,

sort of Rothko-esque abstraction ....

Coming back from wabash

This was the only way to carry this piece back from the show....

thought it was funny.

It's like Redneck+Fine Art ...
