DSO live (512x384 pixels)

This was painted at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (No I didn't bring a laptop and wacom tablet to the orchestra.  I'm painting on a Nintendo DS which is amazingly compact and discrete)  I thought I'd experience a double-wammy of artistic bliss: painting while listening to incredible music.  Yeah, not so much.  Unfortunately I discovered that you pretty much have to choose your focus.  Either concentrate on the music or on painting.  So I took in only a fraction of the concert - bummer, because it was a really good one. 

Glow from laptop in cafe (512x384 pixels - orig.)

I'm entirely new at this (blogging) and trying desperately to figure out the technicalities, but anyway, this was a portrait of a friend on her boyfriend's lap top (casting an amazing blue glow onto her face - contrasting nicely against the blood red wall behind her)

Debut Images (512x384 pixels orig.)




Hi everyone,  just thought I'd share some work.  
These are mini paintings (512 x 384 pixels, so they are tiny!) drawn digitally from life.  The size of the paintings are intended to keep me from overworking them too much.
I hope you like them.  (by the way the one at the bottom is a view of the snow covered street with that shadows from trees draping across it and the neighbors yard)
