"Roses" Original Art still life oil Gallery painting on canvas panel - Available
8" x 10" Oil on canvas on panel
This is the first time I'm painting roses, I find it a particularly challenging task because there are many subtle tonal and color changes within the flower which you have to notice that will determine if the painting's gonna be successful.

"The secret" 5x7 Art female figure oil painting a day on panel
5" x 7" Oil on canvas on panel
I wanted to convey a sense of suspense in this one with the girl holding the crumpled letter in her hands like she's trying to hide or forget something without anyone noticing it.

Portrait commission
9"x12" Oil on canvas
Private collection, London, UK.
This is a portrait commission that I did recently, I had to work from a photograph that has more then one light source on the subject which is not so great to work from, but sometimes you have to make a compromise and learn something from it along the way.When doing portraits like this the likeness is imperative since the person that commissioned the portrait wants it to look like the actual person not like his neighbour or something.
Here are some shots that I took while working on it...
I start straight into painting, without any preliminary drawing, not for everyone unless you are sure of your drawing skills.I block in the big mass first and start from the left eye, this way I have a reference point that I can judge the rest of the shapes accordingly.
From the left to the right eye, the alignment of the eyes is the key here.
His hair is white as it can be so I have to put that white color there so I can judge the rest of my values against my whitest whites.
I add the desired background that I think its gonna work plus I can get some edgework done even at this stage covering most of the upper portion of the face...
These are just a few key frames from the painting process, maybe I'll do a video soon that will be more explanatory.

The hidden trail - Plein Air Impressionist landscape paintings by California artist
5" x 7" Oil on gessoed panel
It's one of those places where there's a naturally formed trail by the mountain that's not so obvious to first glance, it took my attention and I was painting frantically before the day ceases and takes away all the light from my painting.

This portrait has a sort of religious quality, maybe its the posture of the figure or the little girl's face looking down that adds to the spiritual theme of the portrait, still I think maybe its just the purity of a child that emanates that religious/spiritual feel that I find very intriguing and challenging in my attempt to translate that on the canvas.

6" x 8" Oil on canvas panel
This still life composition was all about color and I was trying to capture all the color variables that drew my attention in the first place, from the warmer tones to the cooler violets, I really like how all these colors relate to each other and connect the whole piece together.

Doorway with sunbeams - Art exterior painting by artist
5" x 7" Oil on panel
I'm always fascinated with these rustic entrances, they seem like they have a soul on their own, I guess the longer the history of the place the more interesting it becomes, for painting especially, the constantly changing light outdoors was also a particularly challenging task when painting a place like this.

The Seer - Art Old man Male portrait Gallery oil painting on canvas
9" x 12" Oil on canvas
I did this painting some time ago but recently I decided to do a few finishing touch ups (actually more then a few) so there's some heavy and expressive brushwork on it now and it merged quite well with the layer underneath to add more character on the old man's face, I usually try to keep the original spontaneity and freshness when doing changes like this.
