Fall is approaching, and work on painting is resuming as well.
Below are some pictures of the small painting of Moses in a cleft of rock when the Glory of God is passing by. The under-painting or under-drawing arguably, is egg tempera, the subsequent layers are oil. The most recent work is taking place in the rocks above Moses in the upper right of the painting.
The most recent work on Jacob Wrestling the Angel of the Lord (26″x22″ oil on canvas).
Below is an earlier photo for comparison.
The nearly completed under-painting of Walking Man and Jonah.
Over the past week, the white oak panels for the painting cabinet were gessoed using a traditional cooked recipe of rabbit skin glue, and ground calcium carbonate.
The panels dry fitted in the doors.

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.
Here is the beginnings of the under-painting -the first layer of many layers of paint- of the Walking Man section of the panel depicting Walking Man tromping across the ancient ocean and Jonah in the ancient ocean.

Below are some updated photos of the “underdrawing” of the Walking Man and Jonah in the Ancient Ocean panel.
