Yet another study...






Yet another study. I think I like these so much because you can just totally zone out and play with shapes, lighting, and color. I found this picture the other week and thought it was great. So many medical photos people look so depressed, but this dudes just loving life. Not to mention sweet robot arms!

Oh yea how come every time I post it lightens my darks and desaturates it a bit. I hate changes the levels every time I finish something. Does anyone else run into this?

Still life.


Spent some more time on this still life. I think it's pretty much finished but might play with the lighting and color a bit more. I might take a stab at this in oils. Would like to thinley mass it in then play up the colors with washes. It has been a while since I have painted anything traditionally and never really have worked with washes so this should be fun. I am hoping to finish it for a gallery show next month, we'll see? Crits welcome!
