London Gallery Show

2008-11-18T12:28:00.000-08:00

I want to let everyone know that I have a show that opened last week and will be up through November 26th. It is at the Petley Gallery on Cork st. in Mayfair. The artist reception was last Wednesday the 12th and I was fortunate to be able to make it over from Seattle. Sadly I don't have any pics from the event but I went by the following day and took some photos that you can see below. I want to thank Roy, Jason, Alex and Mac for a great show.

Strip Poker and a White Pigeon

2008-07-30T19:23:00.001-07:00

White Pigeon o/c 28in X 22in

Strip Poker o/c 24in X 20in

Here are a couple of new paintings. The first is Pigeon from a 2 pose session. The second is Sara and from a one pose session last week

Catwoman and some landscapes

2008-06-22T16:29:00.000-07:00

First is a 6 hour oil painting 20in X 24in of Sara. She had just returned from France so the traveling pose really fit with her mood. Next is a quick landscape 18in X 14in done just north of Redmond in the valley around 7 in the morning on a Sunday. The Sun was just breaking through the trees. This next one was my second take at the Cove with is a little beach close to my grandparents near Sea Tack airport. This version differed from the first because it was quite sunny and really made the colors pop. These next 4 are from yesterday morning they are vine charcoal on paper done in 25 min. The model was Sara and the Catwoman poses were very fun to draw. Hope you enjoy.

3 nudes and a shell

2008-06-03T20:30:00.000-07:00

Here are some recent paintings. The first is a shell that was painted in one sitting in my studio. I had a lot of fun playing with all the temperatures of white. I would like to do more of these high key paintings. The next is a painting of a model I found on Modelmayhem named Kyoko she has a bit of a pixie quality. You may recognize Pigeon in the next one I have used her as a model for a couple of years now. She is fun to paint and a solid model. Anna the model in the last painting is also a very good model and one I have been painting for a while. All the paintings are oil on canvas 16in X 20in and completed in about 3 hours.

2008-05-04T18:44:00.000-07:00

Here are some paintings I did last weekend. My wife and son were out of town so I was able to paint all weekend. The figurative paintings are from the Life drawing session I organize. The beach landscape is from an area near Seatac called the Cove. The stream was in Farrel McWhirter park in Redmond. And lastly the flowers were in studio.

My Photographs

2008-01-22T08:18:00.000-08:00

I added a couple of photo links to the right side. There is one for Nature and one for People. These are photographs that I have taken over the last couple of years. A friend of mine introduced me to the Canon rebel XT about 3 years ago. I was so impressed that I had to get one, it was my first digital SLR. Shooting the Rebel has changed my life when I comes to photography.
