It's Raining, It's Pouring...

It's a perfect rainy day for getting caught up with old projects. I started this one last year, and due to having some wrist troubles, I wasn't able to finish. Finally, my wrist is starting to get stronger and the heat of spring is turning into a hot summer, which eases the pain. This one is a bigger piece. So, I need to find a place to hang it. I always hang my ocean, water reflection, paintings in our bathrooms. Seems appropriate, right? It's always nice to wash your hands while enjoying a tropical beach. But, this one is a little too contemporary. I am thinking it should be in a place that's made for a funky piece. I guess we'll see. For now I have to paint in the details, and finish the shadows. Wish me luck!

Desolate

"Desolate" painted in Sketchbook, with airbrush, pen, marker, and other custom brushes. Special thanks to my model Rebecca. Everyone is waiting for something.. someone... anything, really. I painted this delicately, to feel as though she was basking in the warm glow of the sun. She's was apprehensive, but has accepted peace in her solitude. It's not about giving up the wait. It's about patience. Whenever the time is right, she'll get what she's looking for. "Time can change us, but we can't change time."
