Today is going to be my last day in Rapid Visualization and perhaps my last "hand's on" art class I will be attending at The Art Institute of Las Vegas before graduation. I really wanted to push myself for the final and this is what has come of my stress and strain. Oh, there's also some blood, sweat, and tears in it too... This is the second painting in a sequence of work based on some really nice vacation pictures I took while in San Diego. I'm still putting some finishing touches on it; however, some paintings get to a point where addition becomes subtraction and additional work in the same session can become counter productive. I find when I am not yet satisfied with my work but having trouble figuring out what is next I will take a walk, read a book, go to a concert, or in today's case go shooting. Some times a little inspiration can go a far way.

Hunt for the Red October
This is the second piece in a sequence of paintings I have been developing for Kevin Anderson's Rapid Visualization class. I decided to post some progress shots so you can get an idea of my work flow. I will be sure to post more when its finished! Hopefully tomorrow night or Tuesday. I really want to nail this because it may be my last assignment for a class at AILV before I graduate. "Push it to the Limit" I have never had a piece in the galleries of the hallways in the building so I am hoping to make this that piece.
