Custom Portrait J&L : WIP #3
Another work in progress, I’m close to finishing this one up now. This is the underpainting, now everything I do will be to enhance, clarify, deepen and lighten the piece. Unless, of course, I notice more perspective issues. This has definitely been a challenging piece, very much a learning experience. You can view the work […]

Uh… iew!!!
Excuse me, God? Yeah, it’s me again. I watched the news lastnight, and Mr. Weatherman said that this white icky stuff would not stick because the ground is still too warm. Were you not listening to him? I know you’re omniscient and stuff, but, well, I was just wondering if maybe the noise over on […]

Rakewalk
Here’s another shot that was a bit of an accident. I was in my studio trying to focus in on the fire, hubby walking toward the house – I really didn’t want him in the shot but at this crop and with this screened effect I thought it turned out really cool! Er… I mean […]

Custom Portrait J&L : WIP #2
You can see the first work in progress here (or just click on the Still Life & People Painting category below to see them inline). This is definitely one of my more complicated pieces. Only the underpainting of the background is completed, and I’ll be refining it and modifying some perspective before I even begin […]

Burning Leaves
It’s yardwork day for dear old Dad, I just wondered how I might be able to capture burning leaves. Now I know.
