The Neighbors' House - In Progress

This is the landscape painting I started today. It's basically the view of my neighbors' house from my front porch. It's mostly still in the underpainting stages, and I did a really quick, sloppy underpainting. I started working back into the two pine trees on the left side of the painting, and the house, but then it started to get cold out. Hoping I'll be able to work on this tomorrow after work...This measures 9"x9".

Self Portrait as Nutty Professor

This is my first attempt at using charcoal and white chalk on tinted paper. It was actually pretty fun. I never draw with charcoal because for some weird reason I was scared of it.

Oh, I know why - because before I went to Studio Escalier, no art teacher had ever bothered to tell me that I could sharpen it like a pencil, so I was always drawing with a dull stump of charred vine.

Anyways, I totally look like a nutty professor in this one, and I think it's pretty funny.

Another Self Portrait Drawing in Progress

This is a new self portrait I'm working on. I'm not sure yet if I will make it into a painting or not. I'm trying to really focus on laying in subforms while drawing this, as I have a tendency to just make everything roundy and leave it at that.

Monochromatic Self Portrait - 4"x4", oil on wood

This was my first attempt at painting monochromatically. I only used raw umber and white for this. It was a lot harder than I was anticipating, and it took a lot of re-working in order to get it to look like I wasn't a cyborg or a shiny silver alien or something.

I do kind of like the old photograph feel to it. It's creepy.

Two more tiny paintings

I officially love, love, love tiny paintings!

I am especially in love with how the pencil one came out - the pictures don't really do it justice.
