Justified - Timothy Olyphant Portrait

'Justified' is one of my favorite T.V. drama shows. There's just something about a bad-ass good guy chasing the bad guys and kicking butt. If you haven't watched the show, you might want to check it out.

Portrait Studies in May

Results of my work at David Lobenbergs watercolor portrait workshop. Much learned about color, hues and values. A great time was had by all.

Benghazi won't let go

I posted this cartoon last October but I knew that wasn't the end of it. I will never understand why Hillary and the whole Obama administration had to lie about the attack and death of our diplomats in Benghazi.

Noah - watercolor portrait

I've been inspired by my watercolor teacher David Lobenberg to try my hand at portrait painting. After struggling with three botched attempts I started analysing the colors and values of his portraits. Then I took a look at John Singer Sargents work and the colors and shadows of his work. I came to the conclusion I was trying too hard at realisim and turned towards more of a modern impressionist style. I tried to convey the feeling of the boy's sober attitude and it worked much better. Portraits are not easy but I'll keep trying. After all, I like the challenge of trying something new.
