Num Num...





This is kind of a silly painting. My wife really likes Asian babies (never mind the cliche') and I was thinking that I don't have much practice drawing children so this was the result. Work done in Painter X. Let me know what you think.

Cameron's Day off with Seurat






Hi Guys, this was done after recently watching the 80's classic, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". I was inspired by the character of Cameron Frye and wanted to make a painting based off of him. Done in Painter X. I hope you like, let me know what you think. Have a good day everyone.

Night Paddle









Hi Guys, I recently went on a night kayak paddle with my wife and Father-in law. It was the first time the park had tried it. There was about 22 or so people at the event. It was a perfect evening and although we could not see much, it was perfect weather and peaceful. The water was as smooth as glass and if you stopped and listened you could just hear the paddle dip into the water or the flock of geese wings flapping above you. The sky was magical that night with some beautiful colors in the sky. I wanted to sketch my impression of the evening. I can't decide if I like the one with the paddler(me?) or without. I hope everyone has a good day and if you want info on the night paddle contact me.

Posterized!


Hi guys, here is something I was messing around with for the Armadillo Brigade. Just throwing things out, not sure if I like it. I am working on a few collage type pieces to try a different style. I will post them soon.

Men of the Sea



Hi, this is a practice sketch. Done in a couple of hours in Photoshop. I began it last night but forgot to save while I was working and then the dreaded Photoshop freeze happened. I lost it all when I was almost complete. I have got to learn to save :D
So I did another version. Have a good day everyone.

The Day it Happened




This was done mostly in Photoshop with a little work in Painter. This is one of our cats and it is what I imagine would be one of his childhood moments.
