Paintings coming soon

As you may already know, I was in China for the past two weeks. I was expecting to be able to post something to the blog while I was away, but I was unable to access the page from that country. So, this is just to let you know I will be posting more paintings as soon as I get back to the usual rythm...

Thank you for your patience!

Monet's Garden

I decided to challenge myself a little bit with this piece. It is another one of the paintings for my "Painting in the Gardens" class. The amount of greenery in this piece makes it difficult to create depth. I worked from a photograph taken in Monet's Garden in Giverny, France last year. I hope you like it! (The photograph looks just a tad darker than the actual piece).

Where is the Tequila?

I love limes! Eating them with salt is just wonderful!

I painted this piece in the style of one of my favorite artists: Carol Marine. I really love the sketchy, non-rigid qualities of it. I think I want to experiment more in this style, perhaps this is where I want to go next with my work (At least in oils). What do you think?

"Matera y Flores"

I started doing my paintings for the "Painting in the gardens" class I am going to take this summer. This is the first piece... A pot with flowers that I photographed in Giverny, France...

I worked a little bit more on this one... I added more light and I also tried getting a better pic.

Bridge at Argenteuil

This painting is a Master Study of one of the paintings from Monet's series of Argenteuil. I painted this in the first course I took with professor Chang; it was then that I discovered that I needed to go back to art.

Honfleur's Old Dock

After some internal debate I decided to post this painting, which I did almost a year ago. It is the old dock at Honfleur, France. The picture is me when he had our "Plein Air"section by the Old Dock, you can see my face covered with Prussian Blue - "the wild horse" -... Good times!!!!
