Delessio's

Finished 2 more of the 4x4 paintings, 2 more to go!

I'm pretty happy with the way this turned out, I didn't use any reference, so I was really leaning on my memory and hoping it'd eventually look like a building I guess.


Also decently pleased with this.


Painted this the other night for fun, 5x5.

Travis' Portrait

I am so excited to show off my first commissioned portrait of 2009! So, thanks to the ever talented Travis Greer, one half of the Jimmy Mooks and one hell of an actor!

The Bay Paintings

I'm working on a series of many small paintings at the moment. I'm trying to see what I can do working from memory instead of using reference. I admit I cheated on the landscape, but that was necessary, as you may have noticed landscapes aren't my usual. Anyway, all the paintings are either 4x4 or 4x12, and the series is only halfway done at the moment.

I'm a little bit dada..

The next few paintings have a modernist flavor that I'm liking lately.

The Joel Paintings

This short series was done in late '07 and early '08 of fellow artist Joel Woodard (http://www.myspace.com/theartofjoelwoodard). Definitely check him out after me.


The 'Green' house was decorated abominably, but I absolutely loved it, it made for good setups.


The wallpaper in his bedroom was so hideous, it really deserved a painting all its own.


Nixed the pattern in this one.


This is my favorite in the series, he was a good sport about the photo session. I had to showcase the moldy showerstall at the Green house.


Painted this on a whim one night, its not cohesive as a series, but I figured I'd keep all the paintings of him in one place.

Adam and Carl

These portraits are from '07 when I was living in the OC and motoring up to LA and meeting all sorts of interesting people.






Both paintings of Adam were from pictures taken on my balcony at some ungodly early hour of the morning.


This last one is family though, from a picture of my Grandpa around the mid 50's.

Let's get this started...

I'm going to be making a lot of different posts today, but I want to keep my art fairly chronologically sorted. So here's some old stuff first!


Ink and charcoal on 16x20 canvas, made sometime in 2006. Showed at the Love House in August '06 during my 'Adventures in Portraiture' show.


Also from the '06 'Adventures' show, one of my favorite sketches still.


Figure painting from '05 roughly, anyone from LCAD can spot Anthony.
