SKETCHBOOK ARTWORK #5: BABOONS

A page from my drawing journal dating back to a zoo visit.

NEW PAINTING:

Recently completed large oil painting...the first in a series; this one's called "UNDERTOW".

I am having such trouble photographing the larger canvasses, neither of my digital cameras seem up to the task and this photo in no way reflects the luminosity of the sea or the glowing quality of the hand coming out from it.

I will post a better pic ASAP.

PAINTING: GHOST TREE HILL

The first in a series of paintings depicting these strange ghost creatures; I'm not sure what they are or how they came about but suspect they may be physical manifestations of my own angst and psychosis.

I don't know what the hell is going on with these pictures (and there are several of them in the works), because they are nothing like any of the other paintings I'm working on but for some reason I just need to get those damn bunnies out of my head.
