Exaltation (Hallelujah)
18"x24" Acrylic on Canvas
Otero 2010

Assignment 4. Figurative. I was inspired by the sounds of Joseph Israel ( http://www.myspace.com/josephisrael ) and wanted to do something cool with it. Reading from his head to the top of the canvas (from right to left) says: Praise, Exaltation, Praise, Exalt the KingYeshua, Praise Yeshua, Halleluyah, Praise (be to) YHWH

Rock of Horeb

24"x36" Acrylic on Canvas

Otero 2010

The Rock of Horeb struck by Moses to give water to the israelites (Exodus 17:6).

The actual place was found in Jabal al Lawz in Saudi Arabia. This area was found by Ron Wyatt, Larry Williams and Bob Cornuke, and the Caldwell family(Jim and Penny Caldwell). Cornuke stated: "One of the most startling discoveries at Jabal al Lawz was a massive, prominent, split rock on the west side of Jabal al Lawz, which showed evidence of gushing water from within - jagged rocks that had been smoothed off by an abundant flow of water." (BASE Institute) Skeptics have yet to provide an argument to counter this evidence.

Moonlight Cat Call

For about 2 weeks my cat wanted to make night time cat calls, which led to my much lack of sleep. After the ordeal I wanted to document it visually. The idea seemed comical after the fact. Done on photoshop

TMNT Faceoff

This is another piece of fanart that I decided to work on. The original drawing I did when my brother and sister-in-law came down for a visit. This was done on Photoshop.

Teruah

This was a quick color fill illustration of a sketch that I had prieviously done. I used a mock up version of photoshop from paint.net .Interestingly it does give it a more graphic look that I would expect from adobe illustrator.

Oasis

18"x24" Acrylic on Canvas

For the final in our painting class we had to select a image of various landscapes and do our rendition of the image while applying the process that we learned. This one was probably the longest of the other assignments due to the fact that much of it was done in semi transparent layers.

Abstract after Held

16"x20" Acrylic on Canvas

This is another assignment for painting class. We had to choose to do a painting after any of the various abstract artists. This one is done after artist Al Held. The assignment was a bit interesting.
