View of Florence


Long story short, dont stay at Camping Michelangelo while visiting Florence. I wont get into the details, but on the walk up there you do get a nice view of the city below.

This is still maybe a work in progress - figured I'd post it anyways. What do you think? Am I done?

View from a restaraunt


Inspired by some photographs I was able to take while I was out at dinner with my family during our Florida vacation. The window that I was taking the pictures through left a reflection in the photographs, rendering them unusable ... Not wanting such pretty pictures go to waste, I figured I could at least paint the scene.

This thing is a whopping 30"X40" and I painted it, along with the next 2 paintings this past Saturday. Pretty good feat if you ask me. I attribute my success to the pot of coffee I drank before deciding to do (1) painting....

Path to the Beach


This was really refreshing to do. Any time I get to splatter paint its a win - win situation. That was always my favorite activity in art class in elementary school. That, and recess ...

I may have to try my hand at a few more like this. What do you think?

Landscape with Tree


It needed something in the foreground. Naturally, a tree came to mind. I suppose I'm a fan of trees, huh? Who knew ...

Seated Nude


I'm finally getting to do some studies from life. This is also a kind of tribute to Van Gogh. If you can guess how, you win.
