Daniel

This is another one of the figure studies I worked on at Olivier's studio... It was a challenge to try and squeeze a full figure into a small surface. But that was exactly what I was looking for... Challenge=growth!!!

Rural Pear

This is an example of what a burst of inspiration can do. I just took out my pastels and did it! I wished every painting would go this way...

OK, OK, I confess... I do like the sweet torture of personal artistic growth... Does that make artists masochists in a way?

Commission

I had been waiting to post this one until after Father's Day; it was a very special commission that was to be given as a gift on that day. This is a posthumous portrait of my friend's mom. I am very honored to have been commended with such an important task. Thankfully she loved the results and finally gave me permission to post it.
