Below are my first works of 2012 to be published online. The first exhibits my continuing exploration of scraping away wet latex paint to create a contemporary figure from the black beneath. The second is a revisiting of a series I created in early 2010 with oil pastel.

"8th of January", latex paint on canvas, 48"x30", 2012

"1-16-12", water soluble oil pastel and graphite on duck cloth, 14"x18", 2012

This first painting to be posted in 2012 is a continuation of my series of contemporary figure paintings with latex on canvas. The contour line drawing is created through scratching away the wet paint. 

"29th of December", latex paint on canvas, 48"x30", 2011

Happy New Year and thank you to everyone that has supported me throughout 2011! I'd like to thank each and every one of you that purchased a piece, came out to receptions, and followed me online. Your support means the world to me. Below are some of my figure paintings and drawings that found homes this year. I hope you all enjoy them for many years to come!
