Thanks guys... I'm really having fun with the kitchen pieces. It's nice to feel like you can take your time and plan compared to a plein air piece or a limited figure pose. I'm actually spending the same amount of time on them - it's just the 'knowing' that I can take all the time I want that is nice.
Thank you. My palette has changed from a bright and saturated plein air palette to a more somber and earthy one since painting indoors. Funny how our tastes change over time.
I love the figure! the strong shadow against the mint green blanket is nice. I like where you placed the figure on the canvas. and it just wouldn't be as striking without the red pillow.
Love the kitchen pieces; even though you describe being able to plan these compared to your plein air work, you have achieved a work that suggests a 'found' still life.
I notice you have Joseph Zbukvic on your links. I attended one of his demos a few weeks back and was very impressed with the speed with which he created a large painting full of light and colour.
Thanks for the compliment. It is a fine line when composing my "kitchen still lifes". I am usually inspired by the way pans or whatever object is catching, absorbing, and reflecting light. I'll usually re-arrange the items for a more interesting composition while aiming at a "found" look.
I am consistently impressed with the work of Joseph Zbukvic. His paintings are so fresh. The drawing is really nice too! I hope you enjoyed the workshop..
I am a surfacing artist working for Dreamworks. In the past I've worked for Disney, Warner Bros., and Sony Imageworks doing Texture Painting/Look Development, and Matte Painting. Since graduating from the Art Center College of Design with a major in Illustration, I've been blessed to work steadily in the Animation Industry. I also greatly enjoyed painting landscapes, still lifes, and figurative works. Here I'm pleased to share my latest work as well share insights I've gained over the years.

the teapot on the stove is absolutely gorgeous! brush strokes, color, just flawless.....this kitchen appliance thing is very becoming...
Both are nice. But the Tea pot is a show stopper.

Thanks Silvina...
I always try for a nice composition and the mint green was invented so I'm glad you thought the choice worked out!
Thanks for the visit. I will be back to check you out.
