Color and light of the day, changing each second, objects and subjects reflecting each other, energies spiraling up and down, movement of people bypassing without ever interacting.
Second oil sketch from the same day, looks more like its been done with acrylics rather then oil because of the paper's quick absorbing properties, also the values look lighter then actual, the painting will get the proper finished look once a final layer of varnish is been applied.
Painted this one last night on a prepared paper, it responds differently then the canvas and the oil dries quicker, forces me to do more deliberate brushstrokes that gonna stay permanently on the surface, less thinking is more action.

Second still life from the same day, this one's gotta more rustic feel to it and similar chroma, painted under cool light - meaning cold light.
The 7 day auction for this small painting starts tonight at 6 40pm Pacific time.
Color, light/dark and textures, this is the latest still life, I'm starting a new series of these kind of paintings, I'll be using various objects that peek my interest, under different light conditions...

..also here's a studio shot of the process involved in creating this small painting.
The flow of traffic on the 405 at 6pm, or more like the congestion on the freeway, before the sun starts to come down, capturing the grittyness of the whole scene.
Here’s a new portrait sketch that’s fresh off the easel, kept it loose with the brushwork and it also came out as a nice color study, the painting is brighter and has even more color when seen in person.
There’s a quiet synergy at work between the greens of the apple and dark grey/black background resulting in a calm meditative effect, especially with the painted subject being ‘self reflective’.
