A couple of fairly recent paintings

Here's a look at a couple of paintings I have done recently (over the past couple of months). They just sort of came to me and I whipped em out in a couple days each. I'm pretty happy with them and I hope you like them!

This is Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band. He's just noodling away, dreaming of a better tomorrow or something like that.

This is a painting that was originally going to be a low perspective view of a field with menacing clouds above it, but it somehow morphed into this as I was painting it.

Just want to post some old charcoal drawings from last year to give you a little background on my art. These are from a figure drawing class last year.

This one was done using a charcoal pencil.

This one was vine charcoal with some compressed charcoal touch-ups.



This one was done using pencil.




New Blog!!!

Here it is. Ta-da!

Between watching the Zero Effect and cleaning my paintbrushes, I had the crazy idea that I might start a blog. It's really an attempt at sticking to something for a prolonged amount of time that requires creativity, sharing, and developing my writing skills. Obviously this blog post is lame. But I assure you that they will improve!

I guess I just want a way to share my artistic pursuits and influences with friends and people of similar interests. Hopefully, I will actually be producing art for you to look at and I might make some suggestions for some music for you to listen to and maybe some books for you to read or stuff like that. I might even do some more posting later today as I get the ball rolling.

And that's pretty much it.
