This handsome guy is my latest project. It was a donated portrait for Midwestern University's Bright Lights Shining Stars ball and fundraiser for scholarships. Life has really gotten in the way of me finishing it, but I'm just about there.

New Year's resolution...work consistently & persistently on my art!

Happy 2010!

Audrey is done. Adding more grass and a few tweaks to her body made all the difference!

Audrey the Greyhound

I'm closing in on Audrey, the beautiful silver greyhound. I wanted her to emerge from the black background and I'm still working on the shading.
