Fisherboy

This painting of "Fisherboy" is a small 14 X 11 egg tempera on wood panel painting which I used as a kind of testbed for tempera techniques. I feel the composition could be better but I wanted to try several different techniques with egg tempera .

Let me know what you think. comments???

update

Lately I've been working on a painting which has been a test bed for egg tempera technique. I'll post a photo soon. it is a painting of a man fishing along the river. I've learned quite a bit about egg tempera technique while working on this painting.

Let me know if you have any questions about using egg tempera on wood panel.

La Mexicana

"La Mexicana" is a portrait I did a few months ago of a young Latina girl with gang tattoos. I especially like the punk hair style. This portrait has never been exhibited and I'm looking for the proper venue in which to show it. It is oil on PVC panel and I tried to use the same techniques that were used by Vermeer in his painting of the "Girl with a Pearl Earring."

St George Icon

This is an image of an Icon of St George which I have been researching. It's given me some ideas about painting an Icon of Saint George. The preliminary sketches I have been doing are not complete but when they are I will post some of them. Although I like the sky in this Icon I plan to use different colors for the dragon and make the dragon more dramatic and menacing. The color of the dragon should be more yellow and brown. Let me know what you think.

Icon Virgin Mary

I recently painted a small Icon of the Virgin Mary. It is painted on wood panel with egg tempera. I used a limited range of colors and kept the composition simple.

Let me know what you think.
