Some of the stuff I've done since I got back:

This piece was a commission for Elder Ulu'ave. It's the Laie Hawaiian Temple imbedded into their state flower. It's done in watercolor. 

This one is the first one I started when I got back from the mission. It's an oil painting. I wanted to challenge myself after not painting for two years. Let me tell you, it was a challenge. 

This is Tepi. I painted it in oils from a photo in The National Geographic Magazine of 2003. I was having problems doing skin tones in the previous painting, and had trouble not making it flat, so this one is mostly just a study for myself on skin tones. This one took several weeks to complete, but I'm liking the final product. 

Ummm...this is what happens when I get bored and tired in-between oil paintings (which take forever to dry). This is David, Michelangelo's sculpture. It's done in mixed media, mostly acrylic paint, party ribbons, and marker, and afterwards I textured it. 

This is also what I do when I get bored. I got an airbrush a couple years back, and haven't used it much. The idea is one I had when I was a sophomore in High school, kind of playing on "Who is Man's Best Friend?" Puppies, or Technology?

This is another little skin study from The National Geographic Magazine from October 2009. It's an oil painting. I actually finished this one in two days, so I was excited. 

This was a commission for Sam and Melani Mullen. If you look there is a sheep's face in the clouds, and a sheep skull in the rocks on the middle mountain. This was a fun one to do.
