Portrait of Todd Christensen
Here is a portrait I did of my good friend Todd Christensen.
Kyle and Elizabeth
This is a pencil drawing I did for my friends Kyle and Elizabeth. It was for Kyle’s birthday. It’s an 8 x 10 in. graphite and charcoal drawing that I matted and farmed.
Charcoal Drawing of Christopher Walken
This is a charcoal drawing of Christopher Walken on 11 x 14 in. hot press watercolor paper.
Bia Bennett in a blue bonnet
“Bia Bennett in a blue bonnet” is a 16 x 20 in. oil painting on a panel. I thought about calling it “Debbie Did It.”
Portrait of Lizzie Magie
“Portrait of Lizzie Magie” Pastel on paper, 11 x 14 in. I saw a documentary about the history of the board game Monopoly and discovered that it was actually invented by Lizzie Magie. Not only that, but her original game was called The Landlord’s Game, and instead of celebrating Capitalism, is was a rather harsh criticism of it. I was inspired by her and decided to do her portrait.
Mona Louie
This is my dog Louie, an Italian Greyhound, and about the happiest, most playful and loving dog you’re ever going to meet. I had been wanting to paint his portrait for a while to put over the fireplace in the living room, and I finally got it done. Since he’s an Italian Greyhound, I wanted to paint him sort of like the Mona Lisa, with Tuscany as a backdrop. I painted this in oils on a canvas board, and I think it turned out pretty great.
Holly Hock
“Holly Hock” Oil on Paper 11 x 14 in.
Portrait of a Russian Doll
Natasha Lyonne as “Russian Doll” Oil on Paper 7 x 10 in. This is one of my favorite TV shows!
Portrait of David Byrne
“Portrait of David Byrne” is an oil painting on 7x10 in. paper. For this I painted it in black and white, then after it dried, I came back with a thin color glaze.
