I drew john mcain's portrait tonight---in person at PALM TOO. I think it was an okay job....
not nervous but I was tired ...

update

Still working on Staten Island project. Actually enjoying the painting more than I thought I would. Went to gallery opening last night, it was a show about garbage and made with garbage. In my opinion it was, well, garbage.

staten island update

Here is another loose color sketch for my Staten Island cover. It is more work to paint a bad painting than a good painting so I will try to paint a good painting. I will use color pencil and watercolor and then oil glazes on top of it.

rough sketch for bookcover

Here is my first rough idea for my Staten Island cover. It will also have a ferry as well. My influence for this piece will come from the immortal illustrator NC Wyeth.

Staten Island

today I am painting a picture of Staten Island for a book cover. There is actually a nice beach on SI which will be the focus of my piece. I will finish today and photograph and deliver to tomorrow. I have brought a bunch of rubbish from the world largest garbage dump to inspire me as I paint---I will upload my rough sketches soon...
