Traffic


SOLD

My main goal in this painting was movement and light, I think the flow of traffic is a good subject for this particular idea since its constantly moving, the gas from the cars creates hazines around them and I always get the same question in my head when I observe this kind of a scene, ...where are we going?

The Philosopher


SOLD
"The Philosopher" 6"x8" Oil on Canvas Panel
Auction for this painting starts @ 7.30Pm Pacific Time.

Since I did a couple of preliminary drawings on the same subject I decided to do the Old Man's face in oil, the work was done in alla prima style and I was trying to keep the same spontaneity of the drawing but in a painterly manner.
Also, I had a lot of people asking about my painting process so I made a short step by step video while painting this piece, you can watch it here:

White Rose


SOLD
"White Rose (Female Nude Study)" 8"x10" Oil on Canvas Panel
Auction for this painting starts @ 7.30Pm Pacific Time.

I was going for a more symbolic statement with this piece, a white rose usually means innocence and purity, I think this embodied in the female figure represents that idea very well, in the background I wanted to create an etherial mood that brings lightness to the composition.
I also did a charcoal drawing of a White Rose, you might wanna check that out also on my Daily Drawings Blog.
