Flower

Did three pieces over the weekend for the upcoming SWS show.  I did not pick this piece to enter afterall.  Flowers are more difficult than you think!

Exploring in the Boat

Using an old B&W photo is fun inspiration.  I kept the figure in a B&W mode with just a slight hint of color in the remaining picture.  I also kept the grid system to make a flat unified feeling.

Paris Cafe

Another Paris cafe -

Victoria Station London

Approaching the subject matter a little differently with a darker shadow type of world.  This type of image was a little difficult to capture.

Wrightsville Beach Bridge

The Wrightsville Beach bridge -

Magnola Gardens

A view of Magnola Gardens in Charleston, SC.  I did focus on the darks and this piece was a little darker than usual.

Warf at Monteray CA

I need to adjust values since this isn't a bad photo.  The painting is a little light.  I did get two new lamps which I'll soon begin to us.
