I'll try to post another painting up next week.

Feet!

So... This is how I spent much of my July/August.  Thank you to the OC Fair, Kevin and Gina Myers, and Lily Lew for making this possible!

Photos by Kristina Schweizer, who also forced me to do this! ;)

**The Red Clay pieces were not made with my feet.

I Think I Was Happier When I Was Inside the Cave

I started to write up an explanation for this, but i decided against it... Let's just say, I wish there were some things that I did not know about...  And by the way, I sketched this out last November...  It took me a while to actually paint it.

Wave

Hey everyone, the week started out really good, and I made two paintings this week.  Here is the fun one!

Thanks to Doug, Kelsey, Mario, Maria, Corneliu, Ioana, Sara, Tom, Jennifer, Sarah C, Jan, the Awesome Champion OC Bombers, and Megan for making this a fun week!

This painting is inspired by my cousin Geoff, who is an excellent painter/photographer, and my upcoming trip to beautiful Costa Rica.

Have a great week everyone!

Special Post: OC Fair Submissions

Well, its time of year to start thinking about the OC Fair! Below are the paintings that I would like to submit to the Gallery. Any feedback? I can submit all four and the deadline is tomorrow. So speak up, and speak fast. Thank you!

Spiral

I'm not sure if its expanding or collapsing.

Cracked

Will I wake up?
Is it a dream I made up?
No, I guess it's reality.

Vortex 4, Giraffe 2

Sorry its been awhile. I've been distracted with plays, surgeries (not mine), friends... etc. Here are a couple of the latest paintings in some series.

I will soon register for demonstrating pottery at the Orange County Fair this summer. I will post my schedule when I know it.

Shine

A few small paintings

Self Portrait

Landscape

Yes, this is how I see the world.

Slice

More abstract paintings, dealing in contrast and repetition. Acrylic on Canvas Board 11''x14''

Vortex

Vortex 1
Acrylic on Canvas Board

Vortex 2

These paintings can from a doodle in a conference call.

Zebras, Giraffe, Dragonflies

One of my favorite paintings that I have made (ten years ago!) was a silhouette of a zebra, so I thought it would be fun to recreate it (top right).  Yes, zebras, not horses, duh.  I let my friend Calley take the recreations, I kept the original.

The Dragonflies (bottom right) are inspired by my mommy.  She loves the dragonflies! (And they're pretty fun to paint.) She has the first painting in this series.

As for the Giraffe over here on the left, well, I doodled him during a recent conference call, and he's all mine.  I have several other ideas for paintings in this series and hope to keep it going.  I'm working on some other series of paintings as well (many of which have also originated from conference call doodles) so I'll try to keep some nice variance to my posts.

Thanks for stopping by, and looking, and possibly reading my wildly incoherent ramblings.
