Realism

This is just to prove that I can do still life, though I choose not to most of the time.  It can be very satisfying to represent something accurately, but I have way more fun being more expressive and abstract.  Everything here was done at BYU Hawaii.  I had an amazing teacher. Same teacher for both painting 1 and figure drawing.

From life

From life

Ya i know this doesn't quite fall into the same category as the others.  It's more impressionistic and was actually done from a masterwork. 

Inspired by Hawaii

I spent four months in Laie Hawaii, a lifelong dream of mine.  I went there to study art, but continue to work from the photographs I took when I was there.
