The Journey of a Contemporary Artist

Well since everybody seems to be blogging about everything out there I thought I would blog about what I'm most passionate about...artwork! The pastime that I had chosen a few years ago to "get away from it all" has now become much more important to me. It relaxes me, inspires me and gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment that little else does (well, other than my girls, of course!).

I hope to have a few of you tag along with me on this journey of discovery (of both my artwork as well as this blogging thingy).

Wish me luck!

The Evolution of a Painting - Part Three


Finally, back to Gavin and Trisha after a long awaited break. After working on the background from Part Two, I started working on the skin tones. Trisha was so tanned after being in Punta Cana for almost 2 weeks that I actually had to tone down her coloring (pun intended!!) At this part of the process I was still struggling to capture Gavin's far away look. I tinkered with just about every facial feature right up until the end. Oh, and for those of you that don't know her, YES, Trisha's eyes are that blue!! Gorgeous, isn't she?
