Oil paintings

Here are oil paintings that I presented last week in end of the semester critiques. There are approximately 30 graduate students in two classes. Reviewers include faculty, visiting artists, graduate and undergraduate students, and visitors. Everyone is encouraged to respond to the work and ask questions of the presenting artists. This process provides direction for second semester work.
