She was a kind and gentle dog and not very hyper. Occasionally she would get these fits where she would seize up and snort loudly trying to get air into her lungs. Then she would go lay down and rest. Oil on board, 8 by 10 inches.

Lee Norris Drawing
Lee and I sat in his living room and drew for a few hours. I remember a few laughs and there may have been an old western on the televsision in the back ground. Mixed media, digital.
In the Shade
While living in the Los Angeles area, I painted at many of the parks. When this piece was commissioned, I used a lot drawings and studies completed at parks to guide me as I painted it. In private collection. Oil on board, 30 by 40 inches.
Filian’s Grandma
We were out in the garage that was converted into a studio space drawing together when I saw a picture of Chris’s grandma. I had to paint it in my sketchbook. Gouache on paper, 10 by 9.25 inches.
Ransom
In wanting to combine traditional media with the flat digital pieces, I felt that best introduction or combination of that was to use it off “register.” So although the digital portions are perfectly even areas of color they aren’t aligned with or where you would expect them to be. Mixed media, digital.
Elder Brinkerhoff
This is my favorite of the portraits I have done in this style. The line work, gouache and digital background all work together well. Mixed media, digital.
On Deck
I’m the model in the baseball images, the camera was on the floor and I stood on the couch. Graphite, colored pencil and oil on cardboard, 8 by 10 inches.
Curveball for a Strike
I love baseball, I wish I were good at it, this is one of a few attempts to capture some of the poetry of the game. Graphite, charcoal and oil on cardboard, 8 by 10 inches.
Bamboo Dragon
A quick study at the Huntington Library looking into the Japanese Gardens. Gouache on paper, 4 by 6 inches.
