Winter Blues II

Above is my latest piece, Winter Blues II, 11x14, oil on panel (I previously did a colored pencil self portrait titled Winter Blues). I have started planning my next piece, which is to be colored pencil, but it will have to be put on hold for a bit while I work on portrait commissions.

Now this makes me smile!

My colored pencil drawing Smile has been awarded Honorable Mention in the Artist's Magazine All-Media Competition! Images of the winning artwork in all of the media categories is now online: http://artistsnetwork.com/2011-online-competition

Acrobats and Apples

Above are scans of my two latest paintings, Acrobats and Apples, and Lady in Blue (a much better image than my previous photograph!)
