Three Paintings at Cactus!

I've got three new paintings in a group show in Los Angeles!  It's at the Cactus Gallery in Eagle Rock and it's their 6th annual "Day of the Dead" show.  Below is some info about the gallery and my three new works.  I couldn't help but put a little tiki twist on the idea :)

The opening is this Saturday, Oct. 9th, 7-10pm.  Music, food, and great art- what's not to love!  Show runs through November 7th.

Nursery Paintings!

I've been busy on a little side project lately.  My brother and his wife are going to have a baby (insert squeals here!) and I thought it would be neat to do a couple of pieces for their nursery.  They decided to paint a Panda/Bamboo theme for the baby's room.  Since they both have such a love for the beach and surfing, I painted surfer pandas!
Here's the intial sketches I did for the paintings:

Then I did a quick color study in Photoshop:

And the final pieces!  I haven't worked in acrylic in a million years so I was pretty rusty.  Felt good to get back into it and mess around.  I'll definitely be more adventurous next time, but was pretty happy with how these turned out.  I hope Baby Kreig likes them!!
