I learned how to paint flowers because I was trying to impress a girl. We saw some at a gallery and she asked if I do such thing. Of course my answer was yes, even though I didn't have clue. The girl didn't last but my love of flowers endures.

what we have here is a painting of Faith Evans. Its a demonstration painting  on the importance of focusing. Having a clear clean focus is getting more and more difficult in a noise world. focus can become easy when you enjoy what you do and don't allow anything to side tract you.

With this paint I demonstrate the process of blending acrylic paint. I get an awful lot of question on this subject. Truthfully its the hardest aspect of acrylic painting or just something to learn. It depends entirely on our prospective. Instead of showing a speed painting of the portrait, I expose this method by painting the sphere to right.
