"No. 6"
Had fun with my biggest painting so far. I really liked the light filtering through the vase and casting red highlights on the scene.

"Grocery Shopping"
The 3rd painting of my series "Another World Like Ours". All those shelves took longer than I thought, but it was a lot of fun! Three more to go in this series

Another still life; I really tried to push the light and dark in this one. I'm also enjoying experimenting with abstracting cloth in these setups

"Bery at Home"
The second painting in my series "Another World like ours". Inspired initially by the Mexican tetra, a blind cave fish, Bery took form from many exotic fish I came across with the final design more close to a Fangtooth fish

"No. 2" in the still life series. I really love the shadow of the flowers connecting with the belt to bring the eye around the image. Its nice to let loose and try different styles and compositions for these.
