Laundry Day !

This is a typical laundry day in Riyadh ( Saudi Arabia ) the heat , the roof top , and the palm trees. ..... the painting is still very wet , so I couldn't take a photo with less glare than this one.

More figure drawings

Back to figure drawing

Time to get back into figure drawing , and revisit those old anatomy books. It's been some time since I've done any figure drawing. I felt a little rusty , non the less, I was stocked !! it was so much fun. This is a qucike study, didn't have that much time to really get into the shading details, and workout the values. More figure drawings coming up really soon=-)

Portrait painting - work in progress

This is a temporary photo hat I took with my phone. The original painting has a lot more texture, which is lost from the low resolution photo. I'm really excited about the portrait, I've been working on this one some time now, and it's almost done. I just started painting the torso today , so it's still a little rough . The face also needs a little more work , but it's getting there. I'll post the finished one when it's done.

Portrait study

Finished Mural

Mural is done. The "king Monkey " - the one with the banana crown, was meant to resemble the boy who the mural belongs to. They were pretty satisfied with how it turned out.

mural progress

Lazy rain-forest monkeys

It's mural season for me. Here is another mural that I just started painting. So far, I'm still working on a grayscale underpinning. I'll post the finished mural when I'm done

More flowers

I actually worked on these before working on the Tulips. They were the first Oil paintings I've done in a long time, since other than the little quick Plein-air paintings that I did I mostly focused on digital painting.

Tulips

24 X 12
I worked on a few floral paintings, which have been just a lot of fun. Also, they gave more a chance to think more of color and techniques in a nice simple subject matter.

under the sea mural finished

Here is the finished mural, I took these pics with my phone so they are not the best quality. I'll take new photos next week and upload them.

another mural

this is my "under the sea " mural that I'm currently working on. There is still a lot to do, I barely am just done with putting some f the background colors in, and just started adding some sea life. I'm doing this for a 9 year old girl, in the planning of this mural I was trying to be age consciousness. So far it's going good, I'm having fun and the family is liking it. There is still a third wall to this mural that I didn't have a decent photo of. I'll try to publish it later this week.

Tree Mural

I know I haven't posted anything in a few months. However, i have been working on a bunch of new stuff, just haven't gotten to post them yet. But I will be very soon.

This is a mural I worked on this sunday, my client had something very specific in mind. I really enjoyed working on this one, the flat one color scheme of the mural was a nice break from the more complex painting i usually do. It also gave more of a chance to work on the curvy lines and stylization of the tree.

I'll try to post better images for it.
