paintings

It's getting cold! At least relatively, and especially in my drafty garage studio with no heater. But I get to wear silly hats to stay warm:
Here is one of the bigger paintings in progress:
I just need to finish up a few pieces, and start one or two more for my graduate portfolio. I'm feeling pretty productive these days despite the weather...NPR and KPCC keeps me going strong! There was an interesting article On Being today on "The Inner Landscapes of Beauty." Food for thought and all that.

studies!

These are from yesterday--which was a wonderfully cloudy and dramatic day (especially since I plan on having cloudy skies in the big painting I just started). These are all small--under 6 inches, and done in 10-20 minutes.

I was sick for a week...trying to get back into the swing of things!

small paintings

These are all smaller paintings I did towards the end of the semester, studies and quick observational sketches (except for the last one, which was done from a photograph/memory). They were all in the Holiday Art Show sale, and I sold one! It was my first sale in a more formal setting, very exciting.
