29 May 2016I really wanted to challenge myself with the iPad Pro. Just to see what I could come up with over a long period of time. My Mom had a picture of my Uncle and cousin that she thought would make a great painting. Generally I don’t paint multiple subjects in… -
iPad Pro (Day 16)
23 May 2016I’m back at it with some personal work on the iPad Pro. Also I had my friend and fellow artist, DaNE Smith try his hand at some iPad Art. We were in a crowded bar and the true tone display held up nicely. As for my pieces I created some… -

#WhereIsRa?: Minnesota and Iowa
28 Apr 2016During Spring Break I took a family vacation to Minnesota and Iowa. For once I left my iPad at home. (Especially since my carry on was stuffed to the brim.) Instead I created some paintings from life on my iPhone using the Brushes app. Also it’s been some time since… -
iPad Pro (Day 11)
