This is the painting I've submitted as an entry in the 2013 Springville Salon. Called "Ode to Things", it is based on the Pablo Neruda poem by the same name.
Below are selected. individual panels from the painting.
You will see postings of my current and past work on this blog. I once did daily paintings to refine my skills for larger paintings. Beginning in Oct. , 2008 I attended the Jeff Hein Academy in Salt Lake City to refine my basic skills in drawing, value, and painting. After learning a lot, I left the academy in 2011. I returned to the academy for three months in 2015 to focus on portraiture. I am now back to doing original work in my studio. Thanks for visiting!
