I make pictures with oil paint and pencils.
Some more digital drawings I’ve been messing around with. Eventually I’ll stop procrastinating and start painting again. #art #digitalart #wildlifeart #drawing #animalart

Have been a bit unmotivated because of… (gestures at everything). But, I have been doing some sketching on the iPad. Here are a few of my favorites. I’ll follow up with a few more. #animalart #digitalart #drawing #wildlifeart #sketch #art

I’ve been meaning to try some landscapes. Figured I would start simple. The reference for this piece was a photo I took on a motorcycle ride along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. Oil on canvas 12”x16”. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #art #landscapeart

Little Red, oil on canvas 8”x10”. Experimenting with thicker paint, palette knives, and brushes. This little alla prima piece was challenging and I may go back to make some adjustments, but I’m pleased enough with the results. #oilpainting #art #wildlifeart #animalart #foxes #redfox

While I enjoy digital art, the results just never feel as satisfying as traditional mediums. But, it’s a great tool to put together compositions from photographs or sketches. These are two of my sketches mocked up to be used as reference for a painting. #art #wildlifeart #horses #animalart
