more pics from The Boxing Lesson listening party

More pics, and pretty kitties posing in the Topo Chico box like the animation! There will be a video coming out in the near future that has a smokin' Jaylinn Davidson tiger posing in it too. The Eyeball guy is Eric Powers, who made an earlier video for The Boxing Lesson called Dark Side of The Moog. http://vimeo.com/2030699

The viewing part of the listening and viewing party did not go as planned, but it was lots of fun nonetheless. The videographer shot scenes of both the furries and regular party goers which I will link when available. As you see I did manage to get some painting done last night.  Tonight I will catch up on a portrait  and continue to plan the second animation.

Landscapes (past)

Oil painting of an oak tree in a park in Austin, TX

Oil painting of tree in Austin, TX
 I've always found landscapes are the most difficult thing to do. You need to distill 2-3 hrs of a constantly changing environment on to the canvas. These are mostly work from the past. I do have some current work that I'm battling with, nothing I want to post at the moment though. I hope that will change soon. 

Update-May 8th, 2012 I am in the midst of revising much of my online representation (this blog, my website, and more) and for now, you can see an updated album of land/trees/sky here.
