The artist whose work I have been admiring lately is Joaquín Sorolla. He painted the people and landscapes of his native Spain under the warm orange sun (in a nutshell).

SOLD - solo show day 2

The 'aqua mannequin' has found itself a nice new home in Miami. Enjoy the weather.

I also sold 10 small pieces. I can say I am content.

solo art show photos

The opening reception of my solo show was a success and an awesome time. Beast, the host restaurant and its staff did an amazing job, from the service, to the excellent food, and all the final touches. I saw old friends, and made new ones. Here are a few of the photos. Thank you to everyone who made this a great evening.

mini fishboards

So I made 40 miniature fishboards. They are 9 inch replicas of my 8 original fish series paintings. Here are some pics of the process.
The hand-cut wood:

The babies: so cute

The minis: handmade & hangable

I sold some of the mini fishboards at the Digable Art Festival, which by the way was awesome!

sketchbook 2

.sketching in pen is nice.................................................... i like it.

ooh

The beginning of a new piece of arte. It will not be of the fish family, but rather stem from heraldry. Ooh, I'm excited.

sketchbook

I have this thing with sketchbooks. They start out clean, methodical, and along with the pages they soon graduate to an organized chaos, followed by a sea of white. I have never reached the end of a sketchbook. Their expiration dates are overrated.
So these sketches above are a glimpse into my next piece. until then.
