Here is more progress from the cookie painting I'm working on for the upcoming Skateboard show at Galerie Abyss: www.galerieabyss.com



Please note: the opening is on Friday November 7th. In my earlier post I stated it was the 9th - that was an error - it's on the 7th.

Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter by James Gurney

I've been learning so much from this book since I bought it 2 months ago. 'Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter' by James Gurney. Excellent comprehensive resource for any painter (regardless of medium) wanting to understand and incorporate more of those two devices into their work.

Cookie painting

"Run, Gingerbread people, run!" 

Here is part of the rough drawing for a 'cookie themed painting' I'm working on for an upcoming group show. The final painting (and the rest of the paintings in the exhibition) will all be painted on skateboards! Radical, huh?

The opening is November 9th at Galerie Abyss www.galerieabyss.com Montreal. Hope you can make it!
