"Orb.8" - Process & Finished Result
This morning I started working on "Orb.8" that I had constructed a day before. Little did I know that this piece would consume me in a positive way. Finished "Orb.8" around 8 p.m. this evening. The images below show my process and the last two show the finished result. Enjoy.
P.S. "Orb.1" will be finished tomorrow.

More Painting Progress
.jpg)
Today I spent my morning and afternoon tightening/refining and placing more gestures/shapes in certain sections of "Orb.1." Much more painting to go before the piece becomes finished. I am exited to say that "Orb.1" will be a kinetic painting. Will show the final piece and movement in a week. "Orb.2" is also about ready to be cut out of wood and assembled. Excited.
After spending much of my time on "Orb.1," I started bringing warmer hues to my portrait "Jacobi." It was exiting to see the dead flesh tones turn into the living.

The "Store" link will send you to my profile on Saatchi in which selected paintings will be up for sale. If you do not see a painting for sale that you would like to own please let me know. Many of my paintings are out for exhibitions so it is possible that they are up for sale as well. If you would like prints of any painting or drawing let me know as well.

Works in Progress!!
It has been a very productive couple of days in the studio. I am working on "Orb.1" and a large, commissioned portrait. Many other things are in the works as well but are under construction. Also I included a picture of the balcony off my studio. A great place to paint.
"Unititled"
Started applying flat color over the sketch. After the entire canvas is full of flat color I will be applying washes to create a realistic portrait.
"Orb.1"
Have been working on placing a rough blueprint of the shapes and gesture lines on "Orb.1." Have more gestures to add and will be tightening up everything.
A view of the balcony off my studio. Nothing like painting in the open air.

Portrait in Progress
Here is an update on my progress on my commissioned portrait. Much more work to be done!!
New Body of Work - "ORBS"
Today I started my new body of work called "Orbs." Below is a sneak peak to the production of the work. Will be posting more production photos and information about the body of work along the way.
Abstract Painting Studies.
This summer I am taking my last painting class, Abstract Painting, before I complete my B.F.A. studies here at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This course has caused me to confront a branch of painting that I have despised for many years, the dreaded "Pure Abstraction." I took this course a way to better understand the physical creation of "pure abstraction" first hand. Below are some selections from abstract studies of the nude figure. They are all done in ink and acrylic.
