Fairest

My latest painting, my interpretation of the classic Snow White.

First in a series of fantasy pieces. I always learn a lot while making a new painting and this one was no exception. Eager to continue!

Eliza - Developing a look

While working on larger projects I try to always take time to develop my personal projects and I'm still working on "Eliza" and her story whenever I get the chance.
Lately I've been working on developing Eliza's look. I'm very happy with the work I've done with her so far, but I think I've gotten to a point where I'm limited by her original design. (Also, I think the pig-tails were a bit too cliche...)

So here are some new ideas I've been playing with, for both a new hair style and a new more expressive face structure. Not sold on anything yet but I think I'm headed in the right direction!

I must go down to the seas again...

A new portfolio piece, I learned a lot about boats for this painting which was fun and enlightening. I didn't grow up anywhere near the ocean so it has always been a foreign and beautiful thing to me.

Both the full piece and a close-up. - Photoshop
