My Work Space

Thought you might enjoy seeing my artwork in its natural setting. Click on the picture to get the full effect. This is part of my studio (the clean part) where you can see some of my collection of reference objects. The cow skull is a conceit I had to indulge in, being a southwestern American artist. There are also some of my paintings in various stages of completion. On the easel is the 3 cats painting, further along, that I posted here several weeks ago.

 

The part you can't see is a horrendous mess-- an obstacle course that I stumble over, while my cats leap merrily through it.

Sphinx Riddle Redux

Illustration Friday: CAUTION. In ancient mythology, those who answered the Riddle the Sphinx posed had to get the answer correct, or forfeit their life. The painting contains both the riddle and its answer.

"The Riddle of The Sphinx" 11 x 14, acrylic on canvas. 

This painting has been selected to hang in the Austin Visual Arts Association 32nd Anniversary Exhibition, to be held September 4--28, 2009, at the Dougherty Arts Center in Austin, Texas USA. Opening reception: September 9, 6--8:30 pm.

Angel Painting (with another key!)

"Infinite Possibilities" Oil on 11x14 canvas. 

Well I put the cats painting aside in order to finish this Angel one on a deadline for a contest.  Click on the link & you can see all the entrants... interesting to view all the different styles and approaches to the theme of Angels.  It was fun to enter, and also working an oil painting under a deadline, I learned a lot. When creating a painting to enter a contest, I want to retain boldness and strength, and have complete faith in my own vision.

So now it's back to the Cats painting, which I'll post here soon.
