Sunset painting

A painting we had to do at sunset or sunrise. This was directly from a photo but try to handle it like a plein air, allowing my self up to 3 hours and working quickly, allowing my instincts to take over.  Oil on canvas board.

Character in an environment

For Computer Illustration we had to create a character and then put that character in an environment.  I drew up a dwarf and decided to put him on a moose. I am continuing this into sort of a series of illustrations for personal use.  The next one I am working on is a dwarf on a giant kodiak bear.

The Ca d'zan

3 day Location painting at the Ringling Museum, about hour and half each day, The Ca d'zan is the mansion that John Ringling and his wife lived in here in Sarasota.  You should see the patio over looking the bay, if only I could sit out there all day.......
