some recent work

Today I am updating my portfolio because I have a job interview later that requires me to bring one. Here are a couple of works previously unseen on this blog that I thought it would be a good idea to share.

"Aquataneous Transmission/Kismet" 24x24" Acrylic on Canvas, Private Collection of S. Dowell. Novermber 2012.
I do have prints of this available for purchase.

Elephant in the room, did you say, who wants to talk about that?  I've noticed that since I have graduated from university, my art has been taking on an almost literal sense of the issues I have been dealing with in my personal life.

"Red Room" 48x65" Acrylic on Canvas. Private Collection of M. Brice, May 2012.

   This was my final work of my college education.  Happily its in the loving care of Ms. Brice in California.  I got a lot of great commentary on this work, which surprised me, because I felt it was pretty literal. It just goes to show that no matter what my intention was, people draw something out of it that relates to them, and frankly, that's a great thing.

Update on 4x4" challenge.  Last night I spent quite a bit of time working on a painting of my youngest sibling, Alycin, in her renaissance costume... as I am not happy with it, I am not going to publish it today. I will be working on it again this evening when I get home and hopefully, I can get it to the point of being worthy to be seen.
