Kitchen Table
The conclusion of the still life project in Design I was to do an acrylic painting. At the time, I had not used acrylic paint in over 10 years, so I think it turned out fairly well.
Original is a 16x20 canvas.
Bottle in Red and Orange
My second Painting assignment - a dual-chrome study of a bottle against a background of drapery.

Bottle in Blue and Green
This is the project where I think I started getting a real handle on paint. The assignment was the same as previously - a dual-chrome study of a bottle (though this is a different bottle, obviously) against a backdrop of drapery. But I think I found a good balance here between naturalism and a painterly style.

Horse Skull with Bottle
The assignment here was the same as the previous painting - a still life using a restricted palette of primary colors with black and white. I think this one turned out much better, although the composition is far more limited.

Connecticut River
My final project for Painting - based on a photo I took of the Connecticut River from the location of the Dinosaur Footprints.
Acrylic on canvas paper. Original is 12x16.
