New quick painting

I just did this painting for a proposal to a church for a mural they might have me do based on John 7:38 but I wanted to try and add anguish to the face just for effect. Once again it's a cruddy picture from my phone but it was just a rough painting on cardboard.

random sketches

Here are some random sketches I've done.  Each one is to purvey the emotions of hurt.  The one on the bottom is a drawing of a civil rights era photo of two males being assaulted by a police officer, the photo was powerful and so I wanted to draw it to capture the brutal oppression that is often overlooked for convenience. 

More pics from Salvation Army paintings

These are the first two panels from the weekend, the themes were outcry for the lost and God hears our cry.

Intermountain Youth Councils

Here are some pics I took with my phone of two of four paintings I did for the Intermountain Youth Councils Salvation Army this weekend. I did each painting 4 ft x 8 ft in about two hours, all that practicing speed painting paid off. It was another amazing expirience with the Salvation Army.

cardboard speed paintings

I did these paintings to practice for my upcoming onstage painting for the Salvation Army. I didn't have any money for canvases so I painted these on some used cardboard. I painted each in an hour, trying to learn to paint better faster. Each one is probably 3 ft tall x 2 ft wide. I know these pics aren't the best I took them with my cell phone camera but as you can tell I'm trying to get away from perfectionism and just go for it!

The Infected movie poster, finished!

Here is the completed poster for "The Infected" now I'm really juiced!  Gotta love zombie movies, just classic

Painting for Salvation Army

I will be doing some onstage painting for The Salvation Army Youth Councils in Estes Park Oct. 2-4 so Colorado folk come on out if you dig.  The Salvation Army is one of my favorite clients, their missions and outreach is on point.  I always just thought they were a charity.
