Yes, I am still painting 8). I did a new painting as a birthday gift for my mother. I know I have been obsessed with paintings from my wedding day, but can you blame me? One more piece from that day to go and my set will be complete.

I finally posted the second painting in celebration of Melanie and I getting married, though this one isn't nearly as pretty.

Commissioned piece revisiting the Quetzalcoatl has been added. A school of Karate in Mexico wanted a logo that included Quetzalcoatl and I was very happy to oblige.

I really have been drawing and painting over the last year. Lots of time in my sketchbook that I don't really want to put online, and a painting for a friend that I am not going to post to avoid any issues with his wedding photagrapher. Fortunately my wedding photographer Mark Bowers has been great to work with. The result is I have a painting that I am able to post without any conditions or strings attached.

So I may not have added any new paintings for over a year, but I decided to build my portfolio as an excuse to learn a new javascript library called jquery. This will be much easier to maintain, and I like the functionality it offers.

added.
Part II in my series of legendary creatures is finally done. The long wait is largely due to the ambitious nature of this piece.

Ok so sorry about the long delay in updating the site. I have been painting, but life is busy so the updates kind of got pushed to the backburner.
