About Me

My photo
I was born in a town known for a chicken that lived for 38 days with no head. Things have never been quite right since.

An Observation of Progress

As I finished the paintings for Asher, I had to flip back through my portfolio and reflect upon how much my style has changed and, thank goodness, improved. So, I'll share it with you:

Train
My first train, July 2009

My second train, done at the same time as the first, yet so much better
Train, April 2011

Zebras
First zebra, July 2009
Zebras, April 2011
Giraffes - A crowd favorite
First giraffe, February 2009

Second Giraffe, July 2009. Worse than the first. It's okay, I said it

Third giraffe. More realistic than the others, and better in my opinion.
Again, painted at the same time as the second.

Also July 2009
August 2009, because I was on a roll
February 2010. Still my favorite giraffe
Giraffes, April 2011


Lions
My first lion, July 2009. Very cartoony

Second lion, same time. Not an improvement
Third lion. It was for my niece, it better be good.

Always end with the Elephants
Not my first elephant. We'll say it's my first presentable elephant
February 2009

July 2009

Same time, July 2009. I really branched out with my colors

My all-time favorite painting, May 2010

April 2011

I like that no two animals look the same. My lions have greatly improved, my giraffes are all over the place, and I just haven't had enough practice with zebras or lions. Elephants, on the other hand, I seem to have down. I can't imagine why . . .
