Subtle transitions

2012-02-03T19:58:00.000-08:00

Well I started massaging one of the piece for milk giving it more subtle transitions. To get them into a frame of mind that as I get better in my craft. I'm still proud of putting them out with my name on them.

I've still got some work to do but were moving in the right direction.

Milk

2012-02-03T12:25:00.000-08:00

Dear Fellow bloggers and Art Enthusiasts

I've recently decided to return to college life. It may be a long time coming but were in the works. So I'm selling up my art, slashing prices.

My next showing is at milk. I feel that with this rare opportunity to get original art at a good price's people will want to stop by.

I will set up two dates (February 10th, or February 23th from 2-5pm) where if there are interested parties we can sit down talk, work out a deal, or just have a beer.

Family and trip tic

2012-02-02T17:16:00.000-08:00

Peacock and family portrait

2011-12-24T19:22:00.000-08:00

Well I've been woking at Mick's on the peacock. And spending some time at home on the family portrait. I think I learned a couple things from my commission works I felt I needed to put into practice. So I think were where we need to be on the family thing but the peacock is still giving me troubles. But I'm sure I get her into shape its just a question of time.

Portrait two

2011-12-19T14:33:00.000-08:00

Well today was the final touches to the other portrait commission. Now its all down to smashing out the peacock. Its always a chalange to re-do a piece but I'm confident that she will work out to everyone satisfaction.

Micks Irish pub

2011-12-18T06:36:00.000-08:00

Little more alanis morissette

2011-10-26T14:30:00.000-07:00

Well I decided to spend a little more time on alanis (wasn't quite hitting me right) But I think we can let her go now.

New Business card options

2011-10-23T21:16:00.000-07:00

Well my last run of business cards were professional but didn't include a painting or my blog website so this run I'm trying to design a bunch of potential possibilities. Let me know what you guys think. Which card hold the most promise?

Louis

2011-10-17T19:56:00.000-07:00

Well this is louis armstrong, I think he is almost if not done. I'm trying to step away from her before I go crazy on detail. But I'm happy with his mood and direction.

Tightening

2011-10-12T20:23:00.000-07:00

Well I worked a little bit more on my Beatles piece. Not many would notice the difference but I'm more proud of her now.

Fixing up

2011-09-26T14:49:00.000-07:00

Well I've been working on reworking one of my older pieces. She is still a little cartoony but I think I happier with her.

Tripple threat

2011-09-24T11:59:00.000-07:00

Well were finally done the trip tic, I feel content with the results. A friend of mine pulled out my old version of her I attempted last year and lets just say I'm happy I'm in a more comfortable with my work.

Contrast

2011-09-07T15:11:00.000-07:00

Well I tried to contrast her up a bit. But basically I think the classic look worked the best. I just tweaked her So that hopefully she fits more with the collection.

Brick Backdrop

2011-09-06T02:25:00.000-07:00

Well I'm liking the coffee exchange brick backdrop. it really sets of the paintings. 7 are up at the exchange if you get a chance come out and check them out.

Polling the public

2011-09-02T13:26:00.000-07:00

Well subject matter I have always followed what captivated me. But I'm opening it up to other people. To take a poll Which do you enjoy more the animals (cats, apes, frogs, wolfs,elephants, ,bears, horses or other,) , the people, sculptures, aquatics (under water), music icons, or art nouveau.

What would you prefer to see?

Coffee Exchange back on!

2011-08-31T19:21:00.000-07:00

New sketches (trip tic)

2011-08-24T19:17:00.000-07:00

Well I've tried sketching the old trip-tic Not sure she is first on my list but she has to be a fifth or six. I'm sure I'll get to painting her some day.

Confidence

2011-08-22T14:35:00.001-07:00

Well today was finishing up confidence, overall I'm very happy with her. Not sure the trifecta of three images emoting confidence is successful but we live we learn.

Tiger

2011-08-17T14:46:00.000-07:00

Well were finally done the tiger. I decided to go with a more blank background to focus you attention on the eyes of the mother and the pup. I think we can say I'm happy with the results.

Dolphin, finished.

2011-08-03T14:35:00.000-07:00

Well today was the end of dolphin. I'm happy with her I think she be a nice addition, just in time for the exchange.

New Hendrix

Primary Instinct and julia

2011-05-28T16:29:00.000-07:00

Well pretty much much finished work on primary instinct as well as another sketch (Julia Robert's), not bad weekend.

Under advisement

2011-05-20T21:18:00.000-07:00

Well I stated working on the geisha. Didn't get too far until phil suggested I she is content as she is. I also did a little work on the Beatles but I'm going to take her home and pay some steady attention to building her up.

Phils Sujestions

2011-04-30T14:32:00.000-07:00

Well I tried to work on working on some of phil's suggestions. I think she is credible but sometimes you have to let her go and Not overwork her. She is in a pleasant place and I think I can comfortably say she is done.

Old Music Icons

2011-04-12T11:01:00.000-07:00

Well here are three of my old paintings

of some musical icons I first worked on when I came back from paris. There a little rough but I like the feeling.

Final

2011-01-19T16:49:00.000-08:00

Well I think I have achieved some kind of happiness. She may not be perfect but. I think she is a win.

Finishing scarlet

2011-01-03T16:35:00.000-08:00

Well today was the last day for scarlet. I like how she turned out. I'm not always a fan of the subtractive method but who knows everything has its place, and she is defiantly quicker. So pros and cons in either.

New Sketches (stare and thoughtful)

2010-12-20T19:12:00.000-08:00

Well here are more sketches I have been working on. Loving the pose of one and the eyes of the other. Not sure they will make it to paint but are still some solid options.

Boundless

2010-11-21T12:14:00.001-08:00

Elephant- Boundless

The Elephant is boundless in size. It appears to be busting out of the confines of the canvas. The colours in the painting are vibrant yet inviting, in contrast to the intimidating size of the subject.

Carnal

2010-11-21T11:53:00.000-08:00

Wolf - Carnal

The direction and hard edge of the trees is defused by the splattering of white and directs your attention to the eyes of the wolf. The intense stare of the wolf evokes carnal instincts.

Intrigue

2010-11-21T11:44:00.000-08:00

Lynx - Intrigue

The lynx are more minimal in there approach. But even so, I feel the eyes and the thought behind them make the painting. The brush strokes make it seem very unrestrained. The orange and yellows help show their fiery and foreboding nature.

Tenacious

2010-11-21T11:35:00.000-08:00

Cheetah - Tenacious

The vacant stare! Completely focused, everything else melts away and basic instincts take charge. The colour in the painting really does it for me. I feel heat! A sense of foreboding!

sold

Sincerity

2010-11-21T11:23:00.000-08:00

Monkey - Sincerity

To me the monkey exudes the comforting scene, a mood of being nurtured. The colours in and around the subject create a sense of warmth.

sold

Harmony

2010-11-21T11:17:00.000-08:00

Whales - Harmony

With the whales. I was going for a feeling of warmth. The eyes do not play much of a part and so it became about a moment, the freedom, and the ease. A quiet moment of reflection.

Inconspicuous

2010-11-21T11:06:00.000-08:00

Koala - Inconspicuous

The koala was an experiment too see how far I could take the painting and still keep it balanced with the use of negative space. The emotional connection is one of mischief. You are not sure what the koala is thinking exactly but you can certainly see it is plotting something.

Sometimes what we don't see is just as inviting and more provoking!

sold

Radiance

2010-11-21T10:58:00.000-08:00

Lion - Radiance

The posing of the lion is one of submission and the warm tones create a comforting relaxed feeling. Although a lion is a fearsome predator, this one welcomes you in!

sold

Dauntless

2010-11-21T10:47:00.000-08:00

Grizzly - Dauntless

The grizzly is my favourite because of the amount of work that went into the painting. There were many times where this painting just wasn't where it needed to be. It took a great deal longer to get it to a place where I could let go. What I like about this piece is the flow of colour and the hair. The boundless of the penetrating stare is counter- balanced by the curved motion of the water, which also aids in its unification.

Velocity

2010-11-21T10:32:00.000-08:00

Stallion - Velocity

This is another of my favourites because of the line of action. You can see the speed! The colours are vibrant but subtly under-toned by the void space.

sold

Audacious

2010-11-21T10:14:00.000-08:00

Polar Bear - Audacious

The polar bear is reckless in its abandon. The cool tones of the water give an almost gentle freedom to the lumbering creature and the soft warmer colours help bring it to the forefront.

sold

Serenity

2010-11-21T10:02:00.000-08:00

Turtle - Serenity

The turtle is larger in scope. I was going for a serene moment. To me most aquatic scenes evoke a sense of weightlessness as well as freedom. The cool colours help to convey depth and the focal point is rich with detail. The colours and size of the main subject demand one's attention in sharp contrast to its rich surroundings.

Solemn

2010-11-21T09:48:00.000-08:00

Gorilla - Solemn

The gorilla is almost haunting in its expression. Not you typical colours, but I think they help reflect a "quieter moment". The sun kissed light gives it a hopeful look.

Luminous

2010-11-21T09:37:00.001-08:00

Tiger - Luminous

In this painting, the tiger is charging towards you and the motion of the water makes it seem almost incandescent. The cool colours surrounding the tiger provide contrast to the warmth of the orange.

sold

Simplicity

2010-11-21T09:18:00.000-08:00

Frog - Simplicity

The Frog was my attempt to capture a moment of simplicity. I didn't over work the details of the painting. It was hard to step away from this painting and appreciate the simple beauty. It has become one of my favourites. For me it evokes an emotion of curiosity.
