Oh! Henri!
Thought I would try something different for my first attempt at a Still Life painting. I found Henri at a thrift store and they had already named him. Yes, he really is missing an eye. They put the sunglasses on him out of “pity” for his lost eye. That was one of the reasons I…

Whisper Mountains
A bit more added to this. Its starting to take shape. More changes. I think I like what the color changes and enlarging the right corner is doing to the overall atmosphere of the painting. Got some more work done on this one. Decided on the coyote for the animal in it. I still need…

People Skills
Working on people skills again. Just some sketches to try and improve my drawing abilities. People are really, really hard, but I seem to be getting better at them. Nowhere near where I want to be, but I keep plugging away.
