Sneak Peek at New Painting

2011-11-16T19:03:00.000-08:00

Recently posted a youtube video which shows me painting over an unfinished project so I could begin something new. Here is a sketch of what that something new will be.

And this is a photo of me working on said idea.....

I hope to have it finished by the end of the week!

Also, a reminder: I will be painting live at two local shows this weekend.
This is on Saturday: http://www.facebook.com/events/109625495817468/
This show is particularly awesome because its for a good cause! A couple of canned foods gets you in the door for free and a couple more gets you a few bucks off of one of my prints.

And this show is on Sunday: http://www.facebook.com/events/183945315022393/

Sometimes I destroy paintings.....

Recently I posted a picture of a work in progress, but after doing some work on it last night and this morning I decided I had absolutely no interest in finishing the original idea. This happens often when I paint. That's why I usually try to finish everything I do in one sitting because unless I am just head over heels in love with the idea, by the time I come back around to finishing it I am bored with it. So, below is a video of me destroying said painting and preparing the canvas for a new idea.
