Paintings on this page are divided into two groups: architectural sketches and people.
What I leave on the page or surface is always according to the media I use. If I am working with watercolors, for example, I like to splash color here and there and let the water “do it’s thing.”
The architecture images are mostly painted from photographs. Even if I go out to work on site, I like to have worked out the positioning of the subject beforehand.

The people scenes are from videos I take while I ride my bicycle around town.
