The Bottle

Acrylic on canvas. I wanted to give realistic painting a try so I searched around the house for something to paint and all I found was my empty beer bottle. I already do abstract pictures...more on the "trippy" side of painting. The bottle was not the best subject but I learned alot about light and how much of a nightmare glass is to recreate.

Chicago Nights


Took this shot in Chicago while on a whirlwind weekend in the middle of winter. Just a piece of important info that someone should have shared with me...Chicago in the middle of February is colder than anything you can imagine. It was beautiful but only if you were looking out from the inside of a coffee shop or museum or hotel. This shot was taken from the car while driving around looking for something warm to do. I had no idea my camera was on the black and white setting but I'm glad it was. Thought this pic turned out great.
