MST3K
Hello everyone! I have decided that I'm going to Mystery Science Theater 3000 all of my failed paintings. Not only is it funny but Mike and the bots represent my inner critics pointing out all of the flaws in my work. (if you don't know what mst3k is.... Google it)

Orange
Hey friends! Sorry I've been neglecting you! *sad face* but here is a newish painting. I love colorful shadows! This painting was about the form of the shadows vs the emptiness of the bright light. Have fun lookin'!

Stacked
I love to see repetitive things i.e. stacked cups, books, fence posts, power lines and what not. So when I saw these cups I just had to capture it on paper.

Introducing my cat, Pinto!
Hey everyone! I just finished this painting... My brain hurts... This is the fastest turn around from drawing to painting I have ever done, less then two days! I used all my colors on this one, as you can see. For the last year I haven't really liked working in watercolor but this painting has got me loving it again. I went for a very direct approach, bright concentrated colors instead of thin washes. It was very fast and a heck of a lot of fun!

Writing about my paintings is hard! I can't really think of anything to say about this piece except that I had fun painting it and it turned out better then I thought it would.... Oh and dogs are fun to paint.... They have great eyes.... And stuff.... Enjoy!

Plein air
About two months ago (in the dead of winter) I decided to try my hand at plein air painting. My usual style demands many hours of paint time and I didn't want to spend all day at this. So I decided to do some line and wash paintings. I did four paintings but only one turned out well enough to post. (1 in 4 is about my ratio of good painting to bad, even when I spend hours upon hours on them) I really enjoyed getting out of my studio to work in a new style, it was very refreshing. I should do it again.
