White Tree

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry, I was really really bad at posting for over a week.

To make it up to you, here's my favorite piece in my portfolio.


16" x 20" oil on canvas

I painted this last September or October. The size on the blog doesn't do the painting justice, please click on it to view the full size.

I don't have much to say about it besides the fact that it's my favorite piece.

Photo Painting - Harkness

This painting was done using a reference photo quite some time ago.

15" x 30" oil on canvas.

This was the first oil piece I had ever painted. I've come a long way in what really is a short time span. The title "photo painting" will be used whenever a piece uses a photo reference; in a way, it's cheating, but not quite. Y'know?

Arboretum 1

I painted this back in October at the Connecticut College Arboretum.

11" x 14" Oil on canvas.

Personally, my favorite part of the painting is the trees. Not the leaves, mind you, but the trunks that fade into the rest of the woods. From where I was sitting, I was looking across the lake at the area where Flock Theatre usually performs shows at. You can see the stairs that lead down beneath the stone wall from the spot. It was a beautiful day while I was there; I took the day off from school just to paint. It did get a little awkward when a science class from the college walked by me as they observed leaves and different plants.

Here are some detail shots.
