Texas Biennial Piece

I spent the last month painting furiously on this triptych for the Texas Biennial competition due on June 30th... hopefully it will get in. I was also preparing it and many other paintings for a show at Flightpath on 51st and Duval hanging on Saturday the 5th. The opening will be the following Saturday the 12th. It's called "Only In Dreams" and it features a lot of great artists such as Alicia Traveria, Kevin Peake, Nathan Jensen, Kennon James, Nick Derington, Dan Shuta, Michael Veroni, Amelia Litsa, Christopher Jennings, Jason Chalker, Ryan Parker, Chris Garcia, and Stanley Scott. It will be up for a month, so go check it out!

Oil Study on Panel

I began this image with a base color of burnt sienna and then I used three colors (yellow ochre, purple, and titanium white) to paint this close-up alla prima (on first try). I tried to retain my brushstrokes and used a large #12 and #8 bristle brush.
