Art for Charity Auction

|
I've donated five pieces for an auction for the Westside Healthcare Association Gallery night this Friday, April 16th 2010. It's going to be a really neat event with a large number of local and talented artists. There will be silent bidding for everything donated thought out the evening as well as food, drink, and a raffle. Go to www.glothing.org for more info!

On the same night, head to my favorite gallery in Milwaukee, Caggio, and check out the unbelievable work they have now.

Here are the two paintings and the three photos I donated!



From the Last Show

|
Just wanted to get a few photos of the last show on here. I'm revamping my website, so these will be up on there soon enough.

Opening Countdown ...

|
With the opening just one week away, I am working diligently on the remaining few paintings. I will have twelve total in this series I am titling "Plume". Last night, I wrapped up a piece featuring my beautiful friend Katie. The photo below was taken quickly about half way through the process.

I hope to see everyone next Friday, here is a link to the event information.

Another Preview

|
Here are a couple of pieces I've done for the next show. There is still quite a bit of work to do, but i'll get there. Happy Holidays!



Sold!

|
I will be featured in a gallery opening next week here in Milwaukee at a new gallery named CAGGIO. I'm thrilled and honored to be part of this event and hope to have about 8 -15 painting for sale. This includes the one below, which as of today is SOLD. It's my first to sell from the show, and I am so thankful to its new owner.

This piece is titled "Clyde" and is charcoal and acrylic on pine and is 6''x6''. While the original is no longer available, I will have 100 limited edition prints ready for pre-order.

Native American Cheif

|
I forget his name, as soon as I can track it down - I will use that for the title. Anyways, I finished this one last night for my Mom. This one was a fun challenge because I was able to use copper leaf for the first time. It's hard to tell in the photo, but every other square is copper with turquoise peaking through.

In Progress

|
I'm painting this guy for my Mom. It's not only mother's day, but her birthday this month. I'm excited to get to the next steps on him, which include turquoise paint & copper leaf!

"Cheyene"

|
Finished him tonight. I still need to paint the edges, but I was to eager to get him online. Wednesday I'm heading to the supply store to get the stuff to begin my next painting for my mama.

Cowboy Gus

|
For Christmas this year, I painted Gus for my Dad. Gus was a favorite of his when I was a child. Played by Robert Duvall, he was the central(and most likable character) in the "Lonesome Dove" movie series.

Barack

|
Here is the finished piece. I ended up adding a little bit more a few weeks ago, so here is an updated picture.

Jordan & Elena

|
I had the honor of shooting my good friend Elena and her fiance Jordan this past weekend for some engagement shots. I've never done photography, let alone portraiture as a job, but I thought it'd be fun and good practice.

I think they turned out alright. I just hope the happy couple likes them.
