nasturtium

Happy Summer! Here is a drawing of a nasturtium from my backyard.

for the tastebuds

I didn't know how to utilize a handful of 2"x3" canvases I had, and then images of my favorite hot sauces, and consequently my favorite beer popped up in my mind and demanded to come to life. So in between the outer space paintings I would paint one or two. Painting tiny is painstakingly difficult. 2"x3" is pointless!

I want to live in outer space.

Blank canvases piled up and gathering dust in my room, extra free time with the arrival of summer, as well as constant stimulation and inspiration from my computer's rotating backgrounds of images compiled from years of archived shots from NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day prompted me to sit down and try to capture the depth, the lights and darks and the overall awesomeness of the things astronomers spot in the night sky. These aren't so much creative endeavors, but more of a series to improve my technique, my eye for color and my brushwork.
