painting update

as often happens, paintings get reworked or adjusted. diamond in the rough, a painting completed for my rogue show, is getting a little bit of that treatment. here's the painting as it was



here's where it's going. i cleaned up the lines on the building, and the building/diamond itself. i'm trying to move the coloring on it more into my "style" of painting, and hopefully it will end up something like the coloring of the sky in this painting.

upcoming art show

i'll be showing @ milano on the fulton mall during july, and will have an art hop reception there on july 2, from 5-8 pm.

rogue 2009

art updates

currently working on two pieces, the first being "fresno's diamond in the rough." not too many changes, just a little more time on it.




the second is the old fresno water tower. i haven't figured what i'll call it, but i've got the sky background started. this is going to be sort of minimalist. i'm very excited about this one. i used a torch to burn the outline of the water tower and love how it looks.
