Warm ups

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have been moving into my new place and setting up my studio. Here are a couple warm ups I have been doing in the morning before my bigger pieces. More to come soon!

Oil Studies

I have been making time in my schedule to work with oils everyday. Here are some of my studies that I have been working on lately. These studies are exercises from Ted Smuskiewicz's book on oil painting.

Since my trip to Spain I have been inspired to paint more. These are a few of my studies I have done recently. I have been doing a lot of value studies along with master copies. Let me know what you think.

Sketches

I am focusing on more finished work so unfortunately I will have to retire the sketch a day series, however I will still be posting sketches from my moleskine on this blog. Thanks for all of your comments and support and I look forward to your comments on my new work.

Back from Spain

Spain was such an amazing experience! We saw some great art and made memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks to all of my travel mates and especially my girlfriend Sharon for making this trip so incredible.
