portrait of emily
Commissioned portrait of my good friend Ashley's niece, Emily.
She was very patient waiting on this one! (Disclaimer: I still have to make it to the post office...)
update: Framed and sent! Ahh that feels nice.

Portrait of a friend. Finished this for my show in January, and just realized I never posted the final. So here it is, late but not lost. (PS- the gentleman pictured ended up buying his own portrait to give to his mother. Ha!)
Poe boy
Started on this painting last week for a good friend; hard ones to do. But it's in exchange for a super sweet copper end table. I feel like I have the better end of the deal, but hopefully he feels the same way. Let's see how this one turns out... It's one of a few drawings and the second painting I've done of Poe. The first painting is somewhere in Toronto, lost by way of a disorganized gallery and a "too-busy"-to-look-in-to-it-until-2-years-later artist. Ah, alas, this one will - hopefully- be better anyway.
oh ship!

It was nice doing a non-figural painting, probably the first time since the still-lifes I had to do in school. It did not suck! Well, other than working in a 95 degree studio, at least. But that part isn't over yet. Eff Richmond summers.
Here are a couple progress shots:
