Nude Study in Darkness
I was interested in painting this one due to the contrasts of skin colors with the dark background. The photo references are from the website Characterdesigns.com.

In the Eye of the Beholder
Growing up as a child I attended a Catholic school. The teachers at the school were nuns. I grew up with three brothers and no sisters. My mother and grandmother to the best of my memory rarely wore makeup. I started attending the local public high school as a freshman. The year was 1968. I was dumbfounded to see all the variations of eye mascara and makeup worn by students and the female faculty. As a young man interested in art this always fascinated me. My interest is evident once again in this newest painting of mine.

Cath in Shadows
I was compelled to paint this artwork because of the challenge of painting the fabric. In areas of light the fabric is almost transparent while in shadows the fabric is more opaque.

This is another painting from my most recent series of nudes. My goal was to use a more natural skin tone.

This is the last nude painting in the current series. Once again in this painting as in the entire series I worked toward more natural skin tones.

Frigid Perch
With the recent hot summer weather I thought it was time to do a painting with a winter theme.

Nude Study in Darkness
I can't seem to get the colors to upload correctly on this one. You can also view the artwork at www.DailyPaintWorks.com. The color is correct in the DPW image.

Nude Study of Mandie
I decided to keep the background colors subdued on this painting since the skin colors are so vibrant.

Nude Study with Shadows
This painting was quite the challenge. When using acrylic I work in a light color to dark color process. The dark colors are applied last. This is the same technique used by most traditional watercolor artists. In this artwork I kept gradually applying darker skin tones. I was concerned I would get too dark. Once that occurs it is difficult to correct the problem. After some very careful color application I was successful in applying those last few layers of dark skin shadows.

Nude Study With Blues
In this painting I emphasized the tan skin tones. I wanted a strong contrast with the blues of the background.

Nude Study # 4
Another painting in the nude series. Those twelve college credit hours in figure drawing might finally be paying off.
