Work in Progress

This is a commission I'm working on. Taco & Peanut. I've been drawing it out for about a week and was never really satisfied with the proportions so I decided to just start painting it. The under painting is coming along nicely. This is after about an hour or so of work, with my dog trying to get my attention...

Work in Progress

I'm still working on this piece. Its a view of Haines, Alaska and Fort Seward. I have decided to take the dark grey cloud out of the top corner, the balance bothers me plus I think it looks like the smoke monster from Lost. I have really enjoyed using texture with this piece and have experimented with modeling paste and glazing. Fairly happy with it not quite done yet though.

Two Paintings Added

The top painting is of a cabin in Colonial Williamsburg, VA. It is 16x20 and is listed at $50. The second painting is from an aerial photograph during a sightseeing tour of Denali National Park in Alaska. It is 20x24 and took second place in the 2008 Tanana Valley State Fair in Fairbanks, AK it is listed for $250. I will be working hard to add more paintings to my etsy sight and I will post progress here.

Blog Purpose

I'm starting this blog as a place to document my journey selling my artwork in order to save money for my BFA degree. I am currently in the process of transferring to the Savannah College of Art and Design (hopefully I'll get in) where I will be completing my Bachelors in Graphic Design. I work full time and I am actively working to create a larger body of work so that I can sell. The proceeds of all of my art sales will go towards my tuition. The majority of my work will be available on my etsy site which I will provide links for. I will be posting work as it progresses and is available for sale.
