I did not have my tripod with me today in order to get a proper shot of this but I wanted to let you see what I was working on. Thanks to Danny N for providing me with the sewing machine. This was really fun to paint!

Value Study "Coffee"

| "Coffee" 11"x11" Oil on Panel |
I wanted to play with some paint without the added concern of color so I did this little still life of one of my favorite subjects. I used only Ivory black and white with no medium.

Childhood Friends
“Childhood Friends” 42″ x 28″ , Oil on Board
After many interruptions the painting of my daughter Karis is finally finished. Not much to say other than it was a really fun subject matter and that it will be very hard to part with. Here are some close-ups.
