This is a photo of a project I just finished called "Stash Your Cash Piggybanks." These were 750lb concrete statues of piggybanks and I painted three of them. They will be placed all around the metro area of Washington, DC. After a month they will be auctioned off to raise money for DC metro schools.

"Autumn Topography (3000 ft)" This painting was done with heavy layers of texture, up 2 inches in some areas. This painting causes anxiety.

"Simply Solemn" This painting is 4'x1'

2004-11-08T07:17:00.000-08:00

This is a closeup of the same painting. The object to the right is not neccessarily another person as everyone believes to be so.

2004-09-14T19:16:00.000-07:00

The name of this painting is "Aztecan Acension." It is one of my better large scale abstract compositional paintings. It also has great texture. This painting was just accepted to be in the Georgia National Fairs fine arts exhibit. In the category of mixed media it should stick out. 3'x2'

2004-09-14T19:13:00.000-07:00

A new type of style that I have begun painting yielded this piece I currently call "Transient." There are many meanings in this painting as well as a uniqueness that make it one of my personal favorites lately. 4'x1'

2004-09-14T19:10:00.000-07:00

Detail from the bottom of "Transient."

2004-09-14T19:08:00.000-07:00

Slow Growth (or "No Mas"). This painting is done with many panels. I havent come to a conclusion with this painting yet. Many meanings.

2004-07-21T07:02:00.000-07:00

"Harelquin Day Dream" 2x5 ft. 7-18-04 This painting is remarkable. It lights up the whole room and as you look into it it makes your eyes dance. Try to follow the lines.

2004-07-21T06:50:00.000-07:00

Detail from the "Harelquins Day Dream"

2004-07-21T06:47:00.000-07:00

"Arch ways anyways" 1x3 ft. 7-15-04 I may change something about the colors on this one.

2004-07-21T06:41:00.000-07:00

2004-07-21T06:19:00.000-07:00

"Atlanta Night Sky" This is a new one like the others but it has a lot of texture, it glistens, and gives depth to the painting.

This is a detail of a painting that is shown below, but it actuall looks better here. The Star Gazer. This painting was done with mixed media including wax/encaustic paint, glue, and acrylic paint.

2004-07-05T08:47:00.000-07:00

This painting is titled "NO TIME FOR NOBODY." It was done on a large lose piece of canvas and this is a detail photo. The guy in the center is Icarus, and this painting carries many meanings.

2004-07-05T08:42:00.000-07:00

This is supposed to be another Galaxy type painting.

2004-07-05T08:41:00.000-07:00

This is an abstract painting. Someone actually stole this and another painting from my apartment. I later found out who it was but I still havent got the paintings back. A lot of people say they see some sort of wording, or representation of certain words. What do you see?

2004-07-05T08:36:00.001-07:00

This is la reflection. But I like the shapes.

2004-07-05T08:36:00.000-07:00

This is one of my first paintings since moving back from D.C. to Milledgeville. It is supposed to be some sort of cosmic galaxy.

2004-07-05T08:32:00.000-07:00

This is a painting I gave away. I didnt think it was too cool, but the girl really liked it oddly enough.

2004-07-05T07:27:00.000-07:00

This is a detail shot from a bigger painting.

2004-06-24T13:41:00.000-07:00

This is a painting of a dream I had. When the Moon Eclipsed the Earth and sent out the most brilliant auras I had ever seen. I dreamt that I had seen the Eclipse from the moon.

2004-06-24T12:26:00.000-07:00

this is the same pic as below

2004-06-24T07:03:00.000-07:00

This painting is one of my more textured paintings. It offers a very unique feel, however it has been very frustrating at times. I am still deciding in what direction to take it. Please note that all these paintings posted today are no where near finished.

2004-06-24T06:57:00.000-07:00

This is another recent painting, in oil. I did this about 3 weeks ago and tried to be very loose with the paint as well.

2004-06-24T06:55:00.000-07:00

This is a new painting that I am working on. I consider it a breakthrough piece because I was able to let go of any regulations while doing this painting. I felt as though I just let the creativity come straight out of me and onto the canvas.
