Phone Life Paints 4
A couple more for you guys. These two were painted at Bethesda Park and Five Forks Trickum Park. I’ve made doing paintings from a life a daily habit not particularly to get better (though it’s fantastic for that) but just to have some time to myself outside. I like being outside. There is something that…

It’s been a little while since my last post, I apologize I have been very busy ( in a good way!). If things pan out then I’ll be looking at a real life style change. Anywho, here are some more life phone paintings all done on location. Enjoy and feel free to use these…

The only thing I can do is work fast and accurate which has really been putting my skills to the test. I’ll be putting up a whole separate phone paintings page soon to showcase all these and…

My Work Lamp
When I’m too lazy (or stretched for time) to go outside and do a formal plein air warm up I’ll paint the lamp beside my cintiq. It’s always a bit of a challenge getting down some of the subtle reflections and pulling life out of such a desaturated palette is difficult but I think it’s…
