Chinese Fish

This is a project in work. Getting each fish to look like a fish and then getting the water to reflect light is a real chore. But the many colors together is pretty cool.

Picture of Saturn

Thought I would upload picture I took of Saturn with my digital camera through my small telescope. Not very exciting but Saturn is always exciting to see with your own eyes.

Shenzhen Girl

I have worked on this painting forever. Rubbed it out and started over. Did a detailed background and then while I was perusing Daniel Greene's paintings, decided to just fill in the background. Has helped the painting a lot in my mind. But Im finally terribly tired of this paintng. Never again.

Acrylic 20 x 16

Recent still-life. The teapot in the painting is really less visible than it is here. Stole that from Gregg Kreutz. Makes for great drama.
