LA Reds

...and now, for something completely different.

If I keep pushing myself I might get to my destination someday. This painting is one that had me out of my comfort zone from the get go.

Palacio de Lecumberri

Here's my latest. I took some better pics this evening, including a couple of detail pics. Thanks for looking.

Utilitarian

Worked on this one the past few days using techiniques I normally don't use. It was quite fun.

 

 

Hawaii - Last of the State Series (Finally)

Google released their Street Views of Hawaii a couple of weeks ago, which means I finally get to finish the Street View State Series (on the blog) (on the website). I had substituted Washington DC for Hawaii back in April of this year. So it's nice to officially end that one.

I'd like to have a small show somewhere displaying all the paintings together if that's possible. If not, I'll probably start piecing the paintings out. Sure would like to sell the group as a whole though. ;-)

The Oceanaire

Here's a painting I finished tonight. It shows a building in Denver called The Oceanaire. I really liked the looks of the building along with the ability to bring prospective into play with this one.

Thanks for looking.

Idaho Springs - New Series?

Hello everyone, and thanks for visiting. I love doing these small knife paintings. You've heard that before. I've done the State Series, the Lower 9th Ward Series, a few from Denver that I'm not sure constitutes a series (yet), and now I've started working my way up into the mountains west of Denver.

I lived in Colorado for a decade and it still holds something dear to my heart. I've been traveling around with Street View into the old mining towns that line I-70, and have found some of the architecture that I always loved. A kind of Victorian meets heavy snow mountains meets utilitarian mining meets a longing for culture in a wilderness.

I think I'll hang in the mountains a bit and see what develops. Thanks for looking. Comments are always most welcome.
