Collision

This Friday my colleagues in Paintpushers and I having our annual show at the Viaduct Gallery in the Des Moines Social Club. Our opening will be from December 2nd from 5-9pm. For this event, I as teamed up with artist Teresa Townsend Miller and we worked hard and long hours to experiment with our to styles. The finished piece is truly what happens when our two styles collide. This was an amazing learning experience and has definitely encouraged me to continue experiment.

Fin!

Thanks everyone for a great summer show season! I've finished up the last of my smaller commissions and I eagerly working on my paintpusher show pieces with Teresa Townsend Miller. The last commission of the year is going to be fun and pretty large.

I painted ceramic eggs as an Easter basket present for family. The thrill of painting a realistic egg is that the composition is abstract! #happyeaster #hoppyeaster #fivemonkeys #ceramics #handpainted

This honeycomb is tricky. How far do I push realism vs. the graphic pattern? #painting #photorealism #beehive
I'm obsessed with these bees! #beehive #blonde #fineart #painting
This rich rose has thick sweeping brush strokes and plenty of texture. #throwbackthursday

The "Milk and Honey" blonde drawing is going to sport the blues of summer skies and the rich golds of honey. Check back to see my progress! #beehives #bees #milkandhoney #blonde #drawing #fineartamerica

Lately, I've been working on painting miniatures for Warhammer Age of Sigmar. Once I get the hang of it, both dimensionally and technique wise, I'd love to paint your army. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #sylvaneth #sylvanethpainting
