Eggplants and LemonEggplants and Lemon
I was inspired by "Lemon & Baby Aubergine" by Thaw Malin III.
I went back to "Blue Poppy", a piece I did in November. I thought the bottles would look nice with my larger eggplant model. I don't think the dark setting works well here. The colors of the eggplants and the lemon don't pop enough.

Created January 28-February 1, 2008


Eggplants and Lemon #2Eggplants and Lemon #2
I tried again with a brighter set up. Of course the new lighting immediately brought to light all the flaws with my models and textures.

Wet Red ShoesWet Red Shoes
I needed a break from Bryce. The last time I drew in Photoshop was back in October when I created "Country Butter." The drawing is inspire by the red shoes that sculptor Marc Rogerson is wearing in the photo Michael Blamey posted on his Melbourne Today blog.

Buy a copy of "Wet Red Shoes" to hang on your wall.

I changed the materials ever so slightly and ditched the lemon. I'm really pleased with the results!

Buy a copy of "Five" to hang on your wall.

ShamrockShamrock
In preparation for St. Patrick's Day, I created this glass bead shamrock using the same technique I did for "Coeur de Verre" in November.

You can celebrate the upcoming holiday with a card and postage.

Red SockRed Sock
After sitting through a number of long Bryce renders, I felt the need to do an illustration in Photoshop. I really liked the bright red socks in "Red Socks 1942" a photograph posted on the Shorpy blog. So I did my best to recreate one of the red socks.

You can buy this illustration as either a poster or a magnet.

Harriet in OregonHarriet in Oregon
Sean took a lovely photograph of his sister while we were at the Boardman rest stop in Oregon. I used the photograph as a reference while I drew this portrait in Photoshop.
