New Blog

A professional friend of mine wanted me to strip down my blog to essentials, so the art becomes the center piece (focal point), so it’s easier to access, and change my e-mail to a more business appropriate handle.

let me know what you think.

New Buisness card

Well I think we have a winner let me know what you think.

New fish started

Well I have finished the tiger and started the new fish not a bad days work. Canvas is ignoramus but it well work out nicely for the kio show.

New fish

Well I've been working on a more realistic koi composition; mostly I'm happy with her we will see how she goes.

Buissness card options

Well my old business card doesn’t really fit anymore so I'm opting to change her up. Let me know who is winning the pact.

Tiger Done?

Well tiger is done but not sure if I'm going back to her later. Always room for improvement.

Tiger progress

I re-visited the oranatan. I've reached contentment. Tiger is in a good position, but the big tiger needs a fair amount of T.L.C.

Orangutan done

Over all I'm happy with her but there is a bit of over kill. Nicely rendered but a little overworked.

Orangutan progress

Well some positives. I think a step in the right direction at least.

tiger rough color

Well today was all about the planning color composition. Not sure about all the decisions but overall nice progress.

Loose tighness

Well this day was all about the orangutan. Kept her loose for the most part. Next it’s all about tightening up.

First day on tiger

Well I'm happy with the way the tiger is working but let me know what you think.

New Sketch (Tigger)

Here is the new sketch I'm happy with her progress. Let me know what you think.

Orangutan paint (first day)

Well she is a little imposing (large canvas) but all in good time.

New sketch (orangutan)

Well stayed up late but I'm happy with the results. Let me know what you think.

Dissatisfaction

Ok half a day more on the iguana, a couple things were bugging me. At least now I can set her aside. Let me know what you think.

Iguana done

I think she is my favorite so far. Not as commercially viable but a nice addition to the team.

Progress

Well today was getting the iguana itself more rendered. I think she is well on her way.

Back to Iguana

This was my first day back to the iguana. Not sure about all the changes I have made but some of the color combinations I'm really happy with. Let me know what you think.

Once more into the breach.....

Well I revisited the cheetah today I think she is better for it but I've hit my limit. Let me know what you think.

Cheetah

Ok spent a little more time on her but I think she is ready. :)

Almost there

Well one more day ...maybe half a day. And she will be done. A little more tightening up but she is looking stellar. Let me know what you think.

Paula's gallery showing

Well 1st showing at a gallery, very exciting. Hopefully all goes well hope to see some of you there. Here is the invite.





Well this is work on the cheetah she is coming nicely I think.
We need to brighten her up a bit but overall she is coming along.

Back to chettah

Well today was fun. I'm liking the color combinations, and the looseness of the painting so far.

Complete

This one I had to walk away from. Or else I'd still be there bashing away. So happiness has been reached. But there is always more.

Long day

Well today didn't move that quickly but some progress we made.

Progress

Another day of work, I think she is coming along well.

More facial

Well were finialy to a point I'm not ashamed of the result. So I hope you like it.

Facial Work

Well today was a good productive/ non productive day. I worked on fleshing out one of the characters in my composition. It’s totally off the sketch but an even better result. So it was long and arduous but it’s the main focal point so we need to make sure she is bomb.

Competition

Another gallery is hosting a competition I'm working on my entry. The sketch is working out but the painting still needs allot of attention. But she is getting better. Slowly.

Iguana paint

Well we have started the iguana, made some compositional changes. I think she is better for it.

New works

These are some of the new sketches. I started painting the cheetah, just blocking in colors but I think working out nicely.

Peacock done

Well I'm kind of split on this one. I'm happy with it but it's has more detail then the elephant. So I'm split on which one is heading the pack.

Peacock progress

More work on the peacock, were getting closer but just not happy yet.

Elephant done

Subtle colors, not completely sold but were resisting making it a coloring book.

Elephant closer

Today we had a good day. Most of the areas are blocked in its now more about tightening her up. Resisting the lack of color but liking the direction were going in.

Dificulties

Well today we had some difficulties but we will persevere.

Our new paiting

Today is starting the new painting; let me know what you think.

New Sketch (Elephants)

Not done the peacock but just to change things up I thought I might try getting another painting started. So here are the elephants.

Peacock progress

Well another day of working on the peacock. I think she is coming nicely.

New Painting

I've started the new painting, I like more than the sketch but we will have to wait and see.

Peacock

This is the drawing for my new painting. I'm mostly happy with it lets see how she goes.

Hydra re-vamp

Well I showed the hydra to a trusted friend and well he wasn't sure she was done. So I decided to take her a little further. I think she is all the better for it.

Tieing up loose ends.

We I finished off the hydra and the dragon pretty happy with both of them let me know what you guys think.

Slowly getting there.

Well today wasn't as productive as I would have wished but I think we’re working towards a nice painting.

Starting her of right.

This is the how the hydra painting is going. I'm pretty happy what do you think?

Hydra

Well this one I'm proud of I think she will make a nice painting. (It’s my version of the hydra.)

Failed attempts

Well still haven’t hit our stride, past two drawing ... well they haven’t hit the mark. But there is always room for better. So let me know what you think.

Unsertian terms

Continuing the progress of dragon, I'm still not content but unsure what to do next. I'm taking a breather.

Dragon Progress

I took another pic of the dragons progress. I'm not completly blown away but there has been some good devolopments.

We finished the phoenix and started the dragon, let me know what you think.

New Sketch (Dragon)

This is my second attempt at it so much happier, ornate but realistic enough.
