Gallery Opening

Last night I went to the opening reception at the Escondido Municipal Gallery. Their new space is fabulous! The event was lively with wine, a DJ and people actually dancing.
My painting - Detroit: the Devil Within won 3rd place!

Here's my friend Regina Wilson hamming it up with a man who claimed he was a noted art critic. I think he was teasing.....

Work in progress - Gledi

Punching it up!

More work on Gledi

Still working on building up the dark and light values.

Online contest

The Saatchi Gallery invited me to join their online gallery for artists. I couldn't resist! Now I can claim that my work is in the Saatchi!

They have an online contest featuring one of my works here. It's a people's favorite kind of thing. The last winning artwork was not that impressive!

Works in progress

I've been slowly glazing all the subtle little planes of these ponies faces. The yellow lines are a chalk grid I keep applying in an effort to align the paintings as accurately as possible to my reference photos.
