Another nostalgic piece

Here is one of my few color pencil pieces. This is of my family pet Garf.

Morgan Freeman

This particular pencil drawing of Morgan Freeman is a strange anomaly in my art work. I made it several years ago when my art skills weren't quite ready to make a picture like this.

Not quite watercolor


This pencil drawing I made several years back is called "Ralph". Not much else that could be said about it.

Green and Koala


Here is another 11' x 15' still life made during the spring semester. This was an exercise of detail and texture.

Yogurt Mountains


This 11' x 15' piece was an exercise in color exaggeration during the spring semester of 2010.

This painting is one of my first watercolor paintings. It was made in 2009 and it is 9' x 6'.

Flowers on Pink


This 11' x 15' painting was an experiment of overlapping washes with negative spaces left for the main forms. This was another painting made during my spring semester.

Profile Portrait



This is another 11' x 15' painting that I did as a portraiture exercise during the spring semester of 2010.

The Lone Polar Bear


This 11' x 15' piece was a practice session I did during the early summer of 2010. It was an experimental cool-color-based color scheme.

Grand opening of the Continuum


Here is one of my latest pieces. This 30'x 22' painting was made during the early summer of 2010 over the course of a few weeks.
