sketchbook doodle

sorry for the lack of posts, weekends have been a bit hectic with apartment hunting.
i'm still working with the painting i previously posted although it looks quite different from before. at one point i got frustrated with the painting and rub the whole thing off with turpentine and got a good clean start on it, so i'm hoping to finish it soon.

peek

it's been sometime since i have painted with oils so i was a bit rusty coming into this painting, but i feel like i am beginning to get a feel for the medium again. anyways this is just a peek at what i've been working on, though it is still far from being done, so keep your eyes peel.

carnegie hall

Emily was kind enough to take me out to carnegie hall for my first symphony experience, and it was just amazing.the baltimore symphony orchestra performed stravinky's firebird suite plus 3 other pieces, but by far, my favorite was stravinky's piece.
i managed to create a few doodles while sitting down. the composer was really fun to watch and study her quick and expressive gestures, which i tried to capture but i think i kinda failed, nonetheless it was still fun to try. the other is a brush drawing of Emily done while in intermission.

banner....

so i made the banner on top at 750x200 pixels, but for some reason it keeps getting cropped on top and i can't figure out how to fix it. i've been going over the hmtl on the template but i can't pin point what i'm doing wrong. anyone got any suggestions?

ever read bunnicula?

acrylic

it's been a while since i painted with acrylics so i felt a bit rusty working on this.
