Hilda
36″ x 48″
Oil on Canvas

This painting was based on a photo taken by my friend Jessica Hemerly while she was traveling through South Africa. I immediately loved the photo, and thought it would make a great subject for a painting, and Jess was kind enough to let me use it. Thanks Jess!

The Violinist
18″ x 24″
Oil on Illustration Board, Mounted on Wood Panel

The reference for this one was a photo I took quite a few years ago of a man playing violin on a street corner in Tijuana. I’d always wanted to paint it, so I’m happy to have finally gotten around to it.

Catch the Turkey  Aug 26.08

The city of Dana Point sponsors the Turkey Trot 5k/10k run every year to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank. My agency was hired to build a site for the 2008 event. The jogging turkey is a character I came up with to make the site a little more fun.
