This is the second installment of my Rembrandt acrylic demo. Unlike the last video, this one's a talkie.

Audrey in Black and Yellow

I painted this 18"x24" acrylic last week. It was a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law, who is a big Audrey Hepburn fan.

TEDx 2013 Sketches

This past weekend I was invited as a guest sketch artist to the annual TEDx event here in NH. While the speakers gave their presentations, I sat next to the stage and captured their likenesses. It was very challenging, but I surrendered myself to the process and ended up with (in my opinion) very successful work. Many thanks to everyone I met for their affirmation and support!
