Microscope 4
Microscope 4 2009/2011 24" by 36" Acrylic on Panel This is a painting that I started and finished in 2009 over a period of five months. I wasn't happy with that first version and so I wrapped it up and stored it in my office. It's been traveling with me as I moved from office to office for two years and in December of 2011 I rediscovered it behind some moving boxes. I still didn't like it. I decided to paint over and revamp it. The result is what you see here.

Boy & Girl
Boy & Girl 6" x 8" Acrylic on Canvas This painting was done on a sheet of un-stretched canvas that I use for practicing and experimenting. The underpainting is pretty thin washes and I didn't cover it with too much paint as I worked it. I kind of like the slight transparent watercolor look.
