Springville Art Museum

Happy news! One of my BFA project pieces was accepted into the Springville Museum's annual "Spiritual and Religious Art" exhibition. The piece will be on display in Springville, Utah along with a lot of other wonderful religious work until January 15, 2014.

BFA SHOW

The final show is coming up! Opening reception will be November 8, 2013 at the Harris Fine Arts Center, Brigham Young University campus. Here are some sample images from the show:

BFA - "Springing Up"

Getting closer!

Landscapes

Taking environment design this semester. First study of the class in color, and a couple master copies for fun. :)

BFA project progress

Working on my BFA this month, and felt like sharing a few works in progress. The project is a series of pieces illustrating themes and concepts from the scriptures. I'm hoping for a minimum of six pieces to be finished by November. These four are at various stages of completion and all have a ways to go. 

Enjoy the beginning of the semester everybody!

Mark Twain

We did portraits for our final in Greg Newbold's class. This was my take on Mr. Twain. :)

Tumblr!

This blog has been pretty quiet since I've made the move over to tumblr. For inspiration, random thoughts, ridiculous things, and updates of my work, check here. 

I'll keep updating this as strictly an art blog, but everything else will be there. 

Thanks!

WIP - Tree of Life

Study for a larger painting. Still not quite where I want it.

Messing around with some character designs for the adventures of Mal and Mara.

Study of a Steller's jay, painted for fun. Photo from my phone, so sorry for the poor quality. 

Isaiah and Christmas

30" x 40" painting I did for my mother over the holiday break (still waiting on better photos of it). I really enjoyed working so large in oils. :)
