A La Breakfast at Tiffany's...

'Audrey' 
Acrylic on Canvas - 3'x4'  
 


 

 
For this piece, I was asked simply for a large, uplifting
painting.  The rest was left to me.  It was commissioned 
as a Christmas gift, and I happen to be friends with the 
person it was gifted to.  So, to say the least, it was a lot 
of fun having free rein on what the subject would be.   
Originally, I had wanted to do a colourful 50s Pin-Up 
style painting.  However, the more I researched for the 
piece, the less inspired I felt about it.  Not in general, as I 
still want to do said painting. However,  for this particular
friend, I decided I wanted something classy.  And you don't 
get classier than Audrey Hepburn.  It also helps that she's a 
fan.  >.0  Thus, the above painting was born...  My take 
on a classic:

Just For Me...


'Pensive'

I had some time on my hands, while I waited on some 
info regarding some commissions I'm working on.  So,
I did a piece just for the fun of it.  Besides, I've been 
wanting to capture this image for a while now.  
Enjoy!  >.o

Sometimes I Just Art For Me...


So, I'm working on a few different commissions
at the moment, but I'm not ready to share
any of them yet.  So, for now, I'll tide you over
with this piece...

Don't ask me what it means, because I 
could only guess...  Just before I got 
my official approval on a booth for the 
Fan Expo, I felt the urge to draw.  Just draw,
no purpose, or ulterior motive.  Simply to let
my artistic energy flow.  This was the result.
Let's just say I had an attack of surrealism.
Any other explanation concerns me, o.O ...

Found in the Archives

I was going through some of my old work, and came across a few 
pieces I'd forgotten I'd even drawn.  And these are old, too... The nudes 
are from 2004, and the drapery pieces are from 2003, I think? The fact 
that life experience can so drastically effect the overall effect of an 
art piece,will never cease to amaze me... Not only in the sense that as an 
artist who's gained new skills, I can readily perceive how I could've  
better executed a project; but also because the meaning and symbolism is 
ever changing.  For this reason, I get a kick out of going through old work
every once in a while.  I even have an old sketch book kicking around
 from when I was five or six?  I'll post some pic's of that at some point, too. 
At any rate,hope you enjoy!


The nudes are two minute sketches of a live model. 
 All are: Charcoal & Conte on paper
