Bubbles

Acrylic on canvas

This was a project in high school. I don't remember what it was for, exactly, but I do remember bringing in spoons and reflective balls to capture my contorted face. After painting it, I used some kind of gloss all over each balloon, which made it look cool but also made it difficult to effectively photograph.

Reproduction of a Van Gogh

Acrylic on canvas

A project in high school to reproduce a famous artist's painting. I chose this one because of its bright colors and large brush strokes. I particularly enjoyed doing shading on the hat.

The Contender

Acrylic on canvas

Taking a film studies class in college at Portland State, I had to do a creative project that related somehow to a movie we watched in class. In case you couldn't guess, this is a picture of Marlon Brando from On the Waterfront.

Earth

Acrylic on canvas

A high school project to do a surreal painting. I took three clippings from a magazine and merged them together. I'm not sure what it means, but I enjoy it. The title is supposed to indicate either that Earth is in the background or the foreground, I forget which.

Ode to Oren Ishi

Acrylic on canvas

A friend of mine had a great calendar with gorgeous pictures of people and places all over the world and this was one of them. I chose it for the color and because for some reason, I really like painting and shading clothing.

I took this while I was in India exploring a bird refuge, I think. Initially I was irritated that the woman went and sat on the boat because I was going to take a picture, but now I think the colors on her outfit make the photograph.

Two of my friends were brave enough to climb some rocks while we were camping on the beach but I decided to stay behind. I've tinted everything a little blue here and increased the contrast to bring out the sunlight.

The sunset wasn't great that night but I think this picture is okay. The couple on the rocks eventually started making out and then moved to a spot on the backside of the rock for whatever reason... I've warmed up this photo to bring out the sunset.

I hiked up the side of the hill and found a great spot where I could see down the river. I took several shots of that huge rock at the top, but this was the only one I really liked.

This was the first shot I took of the river when we found a spot to rest and I think it's the best. It's one of the rivers that feeds into Lake Billy Chinook.

Bags

Charcoal on paper

This was just a short excersize in a college drawing class but for some reason I really like it. I enjoy shading things, which was what this was all about.

Self Portrait

Charcoal on paper

A self portrait. I don't really think it's great (my head is depicted rather long) but it looks clean. I'm not sure why I've included it here, possibly because I really like drawings but I don't apparently have much to show for it :-\
