Ugly coffee table (pastels):


If I live to be a hundred, I will never grow tired of sketching out these little landscapes...

New wip. Something to gather my mushrooms for me...

Looking gooooood! Ex! Some of thiose silouettes need full color treatments. Keep it up. You have all summer.

[N A Johnson]

Thanks, cout<mecha!

I'll mess with the thumbs, for sure, but I will most likely spend most of the summer learning to paint en plein air.


Plant study from life:

[N A Johnson]

Been busy with school. Managed to do quite a few plein airs in oil. They're all pretty lousy but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. At this point, I don't think any of them are really worth taking the time to photograph and post, but I will be sure to put some up in the future.

Here are some of the other things I've been up to. Alien portraits, and ling cod guts.



...spent more time on this one:


Comments and critiques are welcome, as always.

[N A Johnson]

I'll go ahead and post this, too.

COW was a lot of fun this week.

[Shadow Stalker]

Nice environments!

[scorge]

You're good sir! Very nice.

[N A Johnson]

Shadow Stalker- Thanks!

Scorge- Thanks! I really admire your work, so you made my head swell a bit by saying that.

Some things I've been working on. The first is a photo study, the second is from my head.


And some head sketches. I like some of them, so I might get in there and paint over a few.

[Hayden Zammit]

Awesome environment paintings!

[The_Flying_Dutchman]

Nice work, great finish on a lot of these pieces!

Keep it up!

[Shadow Stalker]

Excellent environment and concepts! My favorite is on the top row, third across. And the one right under that.

[N A Johnson]

Thanks a lot for the comments!

Shadow Stalker- I liked those ones, too. I had some fun with the top one.


Further progress on this one:
