This is the finished Layne Staley painting. Think I might do some color work and start again on the grunge series after a color painting.

Started this drawing a little while ago. Although I'm not a big fiona apple fan I liked the reference picture.

Got a lot finished in a couple of days. Should finish this by the end of the week.

Layne Staley painting progress 1

Just started a Layne Staley painting for the grunge series. Layne Staley was the lead singer for Alice in Chains and sung for a side project called Mad Season. Layne died of a drug overdose in 2002 but was one of the great singers known to grunge music. I am using quite a few reference pictures but the painting is mainly based off of the music video "would."

Chris Cornell progress 2

Here is what the panting looks like today. I'm about ready to start on the guitar then I have some more detail to do on the body and hair before the background gets started. Altogether pleased with it so far.

Chris Cornell painting

This is the new painting that I'm currently working on for my Grunge music series. The painting is of Chris Cornell who is a singer that is doing solo work but was in the bands Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave. Still working on the face and the hair but it's getting there. The reference photo that I'm using is by Linda Aversa. You can view her website @ www.lindaaversa.com. Stayed tuned for more updates on this painting.

Saturday Night Art Stroll in Branson, MO

Here is a pic of some of my paintings at the First Saturday NIght Art Stroll in Branson, MO. The Art Center is located at 111 E Main St which is downtown Branson. I spent time at the stroll working on the Mark Lanegan painting and met some really great artists.
