A few of the pieces from my portfolio review

For my portfolio review, I included a few sketch books, some feature studies in watercolour, several portrait and figure pieces, landscapes, still life pieces, and a few abstracts for good measure. Most of the works are oil on canvas, but there are a couple of acrylic on canvas pieces, too.

I will start with the portrait and figure pieces...
After J.L.David - 'Patroclus' - oil on canvas - one of my favourite paintings and the one I chose when we were tasked to recreate a masterpiece.
Dreadlocks and a Green Pashmina - acrylic on canvas...impressionist style, live model.
Marilyn Meets Bosch - acrylic on canvas - a juxtaposition the legs of the sexiest woman to grace the silver screen meets an image from the mind of a most judgemental painter.
Pam III - minimalism, a'la Matisse - acrylic on canvas
Landscapes...
Deidre's Waterfall - triptych - oil on canvas
Cherry blossoms for Kintaro - triptych - oil on canvas
Old Soldiers - acrylic on canvas
A few still life pieces....
Still Life 9 -oil on canvas
Still Life 7- oil on canvas -greyscale
Still Life 14 - oil on canvas
And a few abstracts, more playing with acrylic...
The Elements - acrylic on canvas
Abstract 19, 20 and 21 - acrylic on canvas
