Model Portrait

This is the model that posed for the portrait class last week.

"Model"

18x24

Pastel on Paper

Self-Portrait

This is the second thing I ever painted in pastels. It was done almost a year ago...

"Self-Portrait"

12"X16"

Pastel on Paper

Pet Portrait

This adorable schnauzer was a gift for one of my closest friends. It was done in oil. I also painted her other doggie, but I need to take a better picture of it before I post it.

I think I was able to capture hispersonality. I love painting pets. I will always be an animal lover!

"Jackson"

9"x12"
Oil

Assisi Variation

This was a digital modification to the painting "Assisi." I think it gives it a different type of atmosphere. It can be printed in high resolution to the size requested.

Master Study

This was one of the homework assignments for the portrait class I am taking now.

Quick Study

"Tomato"

9"x12"

Pastel on Paper

This quick study was done late at night. I felt the sudden urge of painting before going to bed so I went to the kitchen, grabbed the tomato and put it on my orange comforter...

This was the resulting piece.

First Oil Painting Posted

"Clown"

18"x24"

Oil

This piece was done from a photograph for a contest to win Cirque du Soleil tickets...

After participating in the contest (and winning :)), it was donated to the United Way Auction at FIU (Florida International University), and it is now in a private collection.

I don't particularly like clowns, but I enjoyed painting this one.
