This painting is a further exploration into my new found expression.

Unemployed Man

This is a self-portrait, painted quickly and intensely. I don't know if this painting is finished yet, but I feel that it is.

I want to utilize the main attributes of paint so that I may create images that have a sense of mortality and life, no longer a sense of inert permanence. Motion is becoming very important to me in my paintings.

Portrait of a nude Woman

This painting was an extraordinary painting from the beginning. I felt an immense connection to the painting up to the point that I destroyed it, I lost control of the painting and tried to push it further. This photo was taking at the apex of the painting and then the downfall caused me to scrape the image out and begin a new painting on top of it, this image is all that exist. It was emotionally difficult and draining. The painting that was painted over it is "Unemployed Man".

Portrait of a Woman

It has been awhile since I have posted any images, but now i feel that I have something to share. I have changed my approached to painting, striving to create images with movement and a sense of mortality.
