Red Delicious

Getting back into oil painting. Last finished piece was over 4 years ago. Once fully dried I'll get a better photo/scan up.

Oil on Canvas Board. 5"x7"

Simple setup: Cut apple placed on open sketchbook. Inspired by DailyPaintWorks. Overall happy with result. I think I adequately got the desired colors. Still a ways to go on getting the proper control, mostly throwing bits of color down and mixing it on the canvas. The actual apple had more orange/yellow skin streaks.

Life Drawing Dump!

Went to a life drawing session last Wednesday. Worked with black and white charcoal on paper then Photoshop on tablet PC. Click for detail.

This was done from the same model back in Oct.

Some recent pages from the daily sketchbook. Mostly referenced from books.

Cabinet

Heres a cabinet I recently designed/built to house a 46" TV and various components. Completed in about 2 months, working mostly on weekends. Composed mostly of plywood with maple front trim, all painted satin black.  The lower panel has a piano hinge running along the bottom and magnetic spring latches at its top to allow it to pop open when pressed.
