Valeur


Oils on matboard, 2009.

Here is Valeur, tentative in name and condition. It's another one I'm leaving to reassess another day. I rarely work from still life (or in this case, composite photography still life), so it's quite a departure from the norm. I'm pleased with the direction it's taking; particularly its similarities with more classical artwork. I was searching for a unique and rare assortment of flora for the piece, and found both at Hollister Hovey's blog. King Protea and Figs! Wonderfully tasteful and tragically expensive.

Concentration Work - Independent Art (Semester #1)

Below are some of the more significant oil paintings to come out a semester's worth of Independent Art class. The series was the product of my efforts in playing around with American symbolism and the meanings of the words "stranger" and "foreign" from a personal perspective.
