Grand Family Time

Every week I go downtown to a coffee shop, listen to music on their open mic night, spend time with friends, and also work on my drawings in this art-filled environment. I love it so much, and it has been a great testimony to be able to show my God-given talent to perfect strangers. It is also a wonderful place for me to receive more commissions. I have made friends with many of the workers there, and one of the baristas commissioned me to do this sweet picture. Looks like he was a little inspired after seeing the drawing I did for my friend Tyler a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed drawing this picture.

Black and White Oil Paintings

One of the classes I’m taking this semester at North Greenville University is Painting I, where we’re painting still lifes in oil.  In our first project we were learning about value by painting white objects in front of a black background.  The painting of the shapes was the one I worked on in class, and the bird one I did out of class.  This is the first time I’ve used oil paint.  I’m really enjoying it.
