Linclon Painting.

So some buddies of mine own a bar in Reno called the Lincoln Lounge, you can check it here http://www.thelincolnlounge.com/ swing by if you're ever in Reno. There is a pretty good brood of artists who know these guys and they have several Lincoln painting throughout. I am honored to now have this piece hanging in the joint (soon).

So my cousin courtney who I haven't seen in probably 15 years posted this pic on face book that I loved so Im surprising her with this little painting soon. This is acrylic on a masonite backed wood frame. 12"x16" I kind of like the way this one turned out.

New SF City Painting

Heres a new piece I recently completed. This is a 48"x30" acrylic painting done in roughly 35 hours. This was a complicated piece for me having never attempted such a large acrylic painting with such huge gradients, namely the sky. I had to use a water sprayer for the first time and the cheap one I picked up from the local hardware store made it a bit more of a challenge. This is loosely based on a previous cityscape I did, which you can check out earlier in this blog. Im happy with the final piece. Enjoy.

Heres a crappy iphone photo if a new painting I started. This is about 4 hours in and its getting there. We'll see where it goes. This is based on a photo I took of myself that came out a bit askew to put it mildly, needless to say I dug the photo. I'll keep ya posted.
