Sold

I sold this piece of art along with one of my nudes at the First Friday in Camas. It was kind of sad to see it go but at the same time it felt like an acomplishment.

I've been in Texas going through an internship with a physicians assistant (P.A.) and to thank her for setting me up with this internship I decided to paint her something. The P.A's name is Cari and she is very athletic and active. She does a lot of triathlons, and in a triathlon they run for miles, swim for miles, and ride their bikes for miles. For training on some days she'll ride her bike about 35 miles! Anyway I thought this piece was a good idea to paint for her and I'll be giving it to her tomorrow. :)

The Grind- Artist Reception

This was at The Grind - Coffeehouse the night of June 12th. Tony Smiley preformed live, his music was amazing and full of passion. I'd say its a mix between alternative, electronic and dub. Tony really brought the place to life, heres his link if you'd like to check out some of his live music recording.

Papa Owl

Water Color 7X14

This piece has the most meaning behind it. I painted it representing someone who has a special place in my heart.

First I sketched out the placement of the guitar and hand, then i added detail into the fingers making sure the proportion was right.

I had to work quickly because water color dries fast and once you put it down you can't change it to much or it will just wipe away. So I was very careful with mixing the right shade of grey before putting it on the paper. This was definitely a challenging piece, it was my first time using water color at this level and I learned a great deal. I finished the piece in one sitting but it took me a good 4-5 hours of non stop painting to complete.

Shadow

Acrylic Paint on Neon Green Poster Paper

There weren't really any steps to this one. I basically just put black paint where I thought it should go. Although I did not use brush strokes. I dabbed the paint brush instead. For lighter shading I would use less paint and dabb with a lighter hand.

If you can't figure out the subject matter (some people need tips) :

-Theres a hand holding an arm in the lower left hand corner

-A neck and coller bone in the upper mid section of the painting.
