Textures are all around us. We feel them when walking barefoot across a plush carpet and see them when gazing upon a jagged hillside. Each one provokes a mental and physical response different from the next. In design you can easily add richness and dimension to your work with high res textures, separating your work from the crowd.

Today I want to share with you my most recent maternity photo into painting. This project was extremely fun to do and looks great on our 16×20 canvas stretcher bar. Using Corel Painter I was able to combine acrylic, oil, charcoal, water color and various textures to achieve a beautiful and unique piece of wall art.

Today I am proud to announce the arrival of our third son and what better way to share this joyous occasion then giving away an it’s a boy free desktop background and a chance to win a custom desktop background. For the past twelve days it has been a whirlwind of feedings, diaper changes and non-stop laundry. I tell you now this baby is an eating and pooping machine, but oh so much fun! In my sleep deprived, euphoric state, I’ve been able to sneak in some time to sketch and design the above “it’s a boy” desktop background for you to enjoy and share. If you or anyone you know has recently experienced the arrival of a new family member then please send them here to grab a copy for themselves.

This is an example of an 8×10 charcoal pencil portrait I completed a few weeks ago for a family in Australia. Although most of my work is done digitally now a days, I still love to get my hands dirty and press charcoal to paper!
