Alright, here it is. Later, once things dry up a bit, I'll add some text over the objects. But for all intensive purposes, I'll call this piece finished. This painting is one in a body of work that I'm working on for an upcoming show. The show will be held at Whitewalls in S.F. early next year. Check out Whitewalls.

Here's a video that I found recently that I thought was really cool. I think that it has great production value and was thoughtfully put together. Going on long rides in bad weather with friends is one of my favorite things to do in life. This video did a great job of capturing the essence of mild suffering. The company that made the video is Rapha. They make cycling apparel and clothing. For more goodness check out Rapha.

Unfortunately there are some supplies in the frame, but you get the idea.

I'm attempting to give an idea as to my approach and process to painting. I generally paint layers of abstract fallowed by the more realistic rendering. Usually I will go back and put abstract layers over what I have rendered giving the work some depth. Hope you enjoy.

This is a new piece that I'm working on early in the game. I'm trying out some new mediums on some of the work to come. The bull in this piece is depicted with charcoal.

La Estocada

This is latest with my painting. La Estocada "the sword blow". I'm starting a new painting tomorrow but will revisit this one in a few weeks to make some final adjustments. Click image to enlarge

Heres a little of whats happening at my studio. I have been working on fourteen large pieces for my Whitewalls show thats scheduled for the end of the year. This is two shots showing the layering process that my work takes on. The painting will now get the bull and matador painted with more abstraction mixed in. This piece is 48"X48"
