Dark Cherries - sold

Dark Cherries :: 6"x6" :: oil on archival panel

Complementary colors just speak to me. They are at opposite ends of the color wheel, yet they work together so well. I love to see reds and greens of all values and colors together.

Emily :: Graphite on Toned Paper

Emily :: Graphite on Toned Paper :: 2003

I used to do a lot of Portrait Drawing, from live models. A group of artists would get together and we would hire a model to sit for us for about 3 hours. I hope I can find the time to get back to it sometime. This drawing was featured in American Artist Drawing Magazine in 2005.

Sunflower and Stripes - sold

6"x6" :: oil on panel

Neutral stripes and a sunflower.  The stripes in the shadow are just a whole new challenge. I think I like doing stripes and want to do more!

Side note: I am a "brush geek". I like to try out lots of new brushes. Different brushes all seem to do something a little different. This brush I used Silverbrush Bristlon, is what Carol Marine recommends in her Materials ArtByte. It is the first time I have tried the Silverbrush brushes, and I like them a lot. The Bristlon has synthetic bristles, but acts kind of like a natural hog bristle. It's sort of the perfect combination of synthetic and natural bristle feel. I also like the brushes that Richard Schmid uses, the Royal Langnickel flats. They seem to make really interesting unpredictable edges.

Dots and Apples - sold

Dots and Apples :: 6"x6" :: oil on panel

So they don't really look like "dots" do they? Maybe they are impressions of dots…

Plein Air Oil Sketch, George Rogers Park, Lake Oswego, Oregon

This is a plein air oil sketch of the beauty of the park situated on the banks of the Wilamette River in Lake Oswego, Oregon. I did this one last year with a group of Portland plein air painters. We had fun getting together and seeing what everyone came up with.
