National Art Award 1st Place

The pastor of my Church suggested I submit a painting to the Church

of God Senior juried art competition which was held in Mauldin, South Carolina. 

So I did, and what a surprise was it to hear I won 1st place at the 

State level. What a blessing. This is a painting of a Great Heron

It is an oil on canvas 18"X 24".

Portrait of my daughter

 

 This is a contemporary portrait of my daughter. It's an 24x48 acrylic on canvas. It's the first time I painted something in this style. I enjoyed it very much and my daughter loves it.

Einstein charcoal portrait

 

Finished this portrait of Albert Einstein. It's an 11x14 on grey charcoal paper. I plan to do more prominent and not so prominent figures. It should be fun.
