Portraits and Nature Paintings
Once I stopped drawing so much anime and went into painting, I started with portraits. Then I started painting birds for some reason. Couldn’t tell you why.
"Biddabiddabiddabidda" - Acrylic on Canvas - The sandpipers in Cape Cod sure do know where they're going, and waste no time getting there. (SOLD - prints available)
"Bluebird" - Acrylic on Canvas, 8x10 - I fell in love with this beautiful boy's coloring and had to paint him. ($200 + shipping, prints available)
"Red Wing Blackbird" - Acrylic on hardboard, 8x10 - love these striking little guys. ($200, prints available)
"Princeton" - Oil on Canvas - My baby boy. (NFS, prints available)
"Curious Carp" - Acrylic on Canvas, 8x10 - he wants to know if you have food flakes. ($200, prints available)
"Rainy Street" - Oil on Canvas Board 8x10 - My paintings get exceptionally loose when I'm depressed, and this one is no exception. But it's not a sad work, or a work born of sadness, but a work born of comfort. ($150 + shipping, prints availalbe)
"Chatham Light" - Acrylic on Canvas - Painted for Nana, 98 years old. She tells me she can still see the light even with her eyesight fading with age. My high-contrast style must be helpful! I always think of her when I look at this piece. (NFS, prints available)
"well 'real art' isn't anime, so there" - Acrylic on canvas board, 9x12 - A message to some of my old art teachers. owo ($225, prints available)
"Thich Nhat Hanh" - Acrylic on canvas, 8x10 - words that helped me in difficult times of my life. (NFS, prints available)
"Dad Talk" - Acrylic on Wood Panel 8x10 - Working some stuff out with this one. ($150 + shipping, prints available)
"Hole in the Wall" - Acrylic on Canvas 8x10 - A study that I quite liked in the end. ($150 + shipping, prints available)
"Heavenly Path" - Acrylic on Canvas Paper - Done entirely with a pallet knife and a little bit of brushwork for the sky and some details. Very bumpy. If you purchase the painting and you REALLY want to touch it, don't worry. I won't tell anyone. ($150 + shipping, prints available)
"Sheep's Clothing" - Acrylic on Canvas Paper - I find pastoral scenes rather dull, to be honest, so I always have to throw in something funny or something that doesn't belong. ($75 + shipping, prints available)
"Rainboots" - Acrylic on Canvas Board - A small, rainy piece with many more colors than you might see at first glance. ($50, prints available)
"Still Life" - Acrylic on Canvas Board - Currently on display in the Stratham, NH municipal center senior room. (NFS, unless you're a Stratham senior maybe)
"Slope Family" - Acrylic and Ink on Wood Board - for my family. (NFS, prints available)
"Deer in Miniature" - Acrylic on Canvas - From time to time I'll use extra paint to make teeny tiny paintings on teeny tiny canvases. ($15 + shipping)
"Self Portrait" - Oil on Canvas Board 5x7 (Uh, make an offer if you really want a portrait of me I guess?)
