Poinsettia Story

This was for a Christmas art show. Each artist was given a country to research a "Christmas story". I was given Mexico . I created a painting about the origin of the poinsettia.

Palette Shift in 1987

In the beginning of 1987 I painted these two small paintings. They mark a particular palette shift. Usually I don’t change my palette so dramatically. Prior to these paintings I was using more blues and purples to define shadows. Here I started adding more browns. Because of the detail involved, I’ve posted them larger than I normally would.

Sparkle Shades

This was a project from Freehand III at Mississippi State. The professor who taught the course used silverpoint in his work. He often painted over it with egg tempera. Our project however was simply to draw using silver. Over the last 22 years the silver has tarnished a bit.

At the time I had a fixation with Ray-Ban sunglasses - the kind worn in "Risky Business." The piece was just meant to be surreal.
