Surrounded by the Deep
…into the very heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me…
…the waters closed in over me; the deep surrounded me…
…I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever…

Building Layers
Building layers onto the upper half panel of Walking Man and the Ancient Ocean. Here, the clouds, sky, middle and far landscapes, and the cliff have all been recipients of a second layer on top of the underpainting. Below are two details, and the panel in two previous states.

Jonah and Walkning Man
The nearly completed under-painting of Walking Man and Jonah.
Jonah and the Gourd Vine
A painting of Jonah and the Gourd Vine, from 1999, painted on a mdf panel with mahogany veneer. Done while I was still in school, I had previously omitted it from the archives on this blog. It is in the same line of the paintings I am now doing- and have been doing since around 1999, so it now seems appropriate to add this and a few others from the last few semesters of my schooling to the paintings archive page.
Jonah and Walking Man Panel
In-progress graphite under-drawing on a poplar wood panel of Walking Man over a subterranean ocean with Jonah and the Sea-monster. This will be painted in oils.
Walking Man and Jonah in the Ancient Ocean
Here is a new pencil drawing of Walking Man with an axe above a drawing of Jonah and the Appointed Sea Monster.
