In my class it is back to the basics. I am working on a monochromatic
still life. Here is a sketch and the beginning on the painting. Keep in
mind the chair is crushed velvet.

So I started a painting class and I feel like I am starting all over again.
I do not know much about oils but I feel like this is an opportunity to
veer down that path. Trouble is I feel completely alien in this media.
But it is ok its exciting even if this skull also looks a bit alien.
I have about a week until I start school again. Well less than
a week if you count the life painting class I am taking on
Fridays. This means I need to get some work done before
I get too exhausted. I started on my Art in Hand Project.
Here is the beginning of the Queen of Hearts/Self Portrait.
Yesterday I was given some great news. Here in Portland a new project is
beginning for 54 local artists. The goal is to create a one-of-a-kind art
deck that showcases local artists to be sold in some local stores. The call
for art was issued last month. I was chosen to be one of the 54 artist to
create a unique playing card. The painting does not create a revenue for
me but there will be a showing sometime in March of all the 54 paintings.
In late April the original paintings will be auctioned off and the proceeds
will be given to the charity of the artists choice. I turned in my paper
work for the project right away and was given my first choice for my card.
The Queen of Hearts!
For this painting I am planning on doing a self portrait. Here is a rough
look at what I am basing the painting on.

Here is my latest project. My last entry was what I based this drawing from.
I photoshopped some elements together. This will be a fun one!
I have another project I want to get to hopefully on deadline.
The theme is “Cirquesque.” So I took some stock art and played
with photo-shop. This is what I will be painting!
I can’t tell if this is done really. I think I want to add
to the man’s shirt or I am not sure. Anyway here is the progress.
Here is the start of a much larger painting involving a masquerade.
Measures 48″ x 24″
Once again the picture has been taken with my cell phone
So quality is an issue.
