story of my life..."where do I go now?...I guess I'll go that way" hehehehe...yup this is my friday night! I left my finacee in her place to go paint this.. so sad.. but I love it!... PS. thanks Jackson for showing me the chalk brush ('ol cubicle mate).

seaside sunset

here is a stylized sunset sketch...for what...just because :)

Los Angeles light

My version of sunset in Los Angeles... but with far less traffic. :)

trees

...a plein air study of the trees in front of my place.

a visit to my oak tree

...hmmm.... could be a picture of a potential story idea....hmmm...

another meadow

My friend Jackson introduced me to a fantastic artist named Matt Smith. After seeing Smith's DVD, I wanted to do a painting using the ideas he talked about.

vista

I am getting addicted to these late night quick paintings...aaack! Anyways, this is a again inspired again from my commute home... this time, I wanted to capture the essence of my quick glance off Beverly Glen and the grand vista of the valley. I believe I captured my feelings of that moment. Enjoy!

A Loss

A quick concept painting before I sleep tonight.

meadow

quick sketch using this program my co-workers introduced to me...ArtRage...I love it!

made up paintings

I did two quick paintings this week... the first one is from memory. My commute home from work takes me sometimes to the 134 freeway which has these beautiful eucalypus trees near Glendale. I wanted to capture how they look during sunset and do it from memory.



This other one I did from imagination. I don't know where you are.. but it's HOT here in Los Angeles! I like to dream of places that..well... are not as freakin' hot... and since I gotta be here...this is the closest I can get to anywhere that does not get to 90 plus degrees every other day.

Joseph...

hello! I went to a figure drawing workshop today (something I have not done for a loooong time). Here is a sketch of our model Joseph I did in Photoshop...'til the next post... man this blogging is addictive!..heheheh.

mouse face...

hey! I've been in this "old school" way of thinking for a while...huh...well, this one I wanted to sketch something that looked like it was done in oils...moreover, I wanted to see if I can do it with a mouse...not a wacom.. so I sketched this ambigious figure in about an hour just for the hell of it...enjoy!

lunch break sketch...

I have been trying this "old school" charcoal approach lately in photoshop... thought I'd do a quick sketch during my lunch break without reference. enjoy!
