I know this picture is realy crappy- like all the little annoying white dots all over the painting- but this is all I have right now. I'll probably have Sariah post a better picture of this later, once I'm gone. Anyway, this painting is called "Lucky", which is the name of the Rooster. This was painted for the same person who commissioned me to paint the apricot painting. This is also the last one I will do until I get back from my mission, so I hope you all enjoy and I'll see you all back on my blog in two years!
(Prints of this will be available shortly)

This painting, "Dapple Gray", was painted for many people actually. My Mom, my sister, my friend and who knows who else I'll run into that would like to buy a small print of a horse painting!

This piece, "Glory of Edelweiss", was painted for my Grandma for her birthday (and Mother's Day and Christmas). Because the picture's contents were so simple and forgiving, it was actually a very fast painting for me. I completed it in about two days.

After having picked more than 1,400 pounds of Apricots at our good friends' house, we looked upon the fruits of our labors and immediately Janie Hawley spotted these sun kissed apricots in this bowl of hers. She exclaimed at the beauty of these particular apricots and then declared "that would make a great painting!" She turned to me and asked, "If I had you take this home, could you paint this?"
A little over a week later I went up to their house again with this finished painting and named it most appropriately, "Memories of the Harvest".

As a gift for my Great Grandmother, I painted this picture of a deer from her homeland in Austria. This type of deer is my Great Grandmother's most favorite animal. This painting was fairly simple and enjoyable to work on.

This painting is Ammon's late, late, birthday present. It is entitled "Get Thee Hence" and is a symbolic painting (for those of you who would not have guessed). This painting portrays Michael, the Archangel, having triumphed over and casting Satan, the Great Red Dragon, out of Heaven (See Revelation 12: 3, 7 and 9). I had Ammon pose with a robe and our real samurai sword for this project. I then simply 'tweaked' him on Adobe Photoshop to look like he was a glowing angel. Of course, the Dragon was much harder because there were no dragons here to pose for me! ;D

Here is the latest. This is a 9"x 12" painting I did for my brother Isaiah for his birthday. One day I asked him, "If I could paint you a small picture for your birthday, what would you want it to be?" He told me that he would love a painting of a green gecko. So we found his favorite "green gecko" picture and I painted it for him.
