Plein Air Study

I managed to fit in a quick painting on my way home from the studio today. It was a race against the sun! I managed to finish up just before the sun disappeared, then I realized I had to go to the bathroom horribly bad, being in the middle of nowhere but farmhouses I was forced to run up to the closest house and ask to use the facilities. Interestingly enough they informed me across the street was the home of Joseph Meyerhoff, the owner of the largest collection of american art in the world! Also the major funder of my college, and art galleries around the world. So that was pretty cool, really looking forward to doing more of these now that the weather is getting nice. Also, I want to start using them as reference for some more creative imaginative pieces.

Collaboration!

Heres a fun piece that I collaborated with my good friend Alyssa Nassner. We have been wanting to work together on something for a long time. She recently started a pretty cool new blog where artists will trade sketches every week, painting another participating artists sketch. Alyssa did this sketch, and i did the coloring...maybe soon the tables will be turned!

The weather is getting warmer!

Finally the weather is getting warm enough to go outside and play again. Todayi went for a nice hike with one of my dogs and she was kind enough to wait patiently while I banged out this little number. Unfortunately there was no sunlight today, all clouds and cold...a little rusty but looking forward to getting back in the swing of things. One of my little studies made it into the upcoming creative quarterly in the fine art category! Imagine that!

Also, stay tuned I am working on some T shirt design's for the Chicago Bulls!
