Direct painting
Here is a portrait I did recently. This is an example of direct painting. I wanted to capture the spontaneity of the two boys as if they were just about to take off at any minute.
I do my art mostly in a great studio next to my house in Chatsworth, California. My company is called Spirit Flow inc, and we look for opportunities to connect people to their spirit through creative endeavors. I do portraits, commissioned paintings, logos and graphic design, and I even have a children's book called Gideon's Dream coming out with HarperCollins in March of '08. I teach classes about creativity at UCLA, Esalen Institute, among other places. I am working on projects concerning creativity, human dignity and the environment. I love drawing and carry at least two sketchbooks with me at all times.
