Finished Horse

Was a little worried that I didn't take a proper picture of this before heading off to school, but I found it on my camera so here you all go!

A

Equesrian 2

Almost done. 2 days work, (With a frustrating week or so period in between).

A

Another House Portrait

A new commission.

Haven't done a building in a long time, but I think this turned out pretty well.

We'll see what the client thinks soon enough.

She 2

Another one from stock.

Trying harder :P

Her name is Kristina Horner. She's kinda famous on youtube (italktosnakes) and has a stock account

Baby steps

Well, after a bit of a slump, I'm getting back into it.

This evenings labor.

Not great, but not an easy subject either...

Funny how simple things get complex once you try to paint them.

A

Lily Study

Just a little experiment.

8x10 acrylic and leafing on canvas board.

She

"She"

16x20 acrylic on canvas paper

$300

Sold

I cannot begin to capture her beauty
Not through stain nor scar on the page
My eyes are not strong enough, nor is my arm
Even with all my heart not a fraction
For she has more beauty then I can even comprehend
Only a fraction can any man see
For a woman's true beauty
is in her heart.

Mushroom

A good day.

Ran some errands, got some new clothes, and painted this little treasure my mom found at the local Goodwill.

A ceramic mushroom.

A

A quick one.

About an hour or so? Not really sure, felt quick (and messy).

A

Cube

Started over an abstract with the intent of doing another Rubik's cube, but sort of like how this is.

I'll sit on it a while.

A

Absolute mess

Just painting aimlessly.

Bread finished

Noticed some things I should fix..

But a better photo non-the-less.

A

This evening's labour

Not pleased with the result.

Definitly need to do another.

A

Finished some work

Finished up the Chinese poppy and duck, and framed up another piece too.

Not a bad days work.

A

Equestrian 01

Perhaps the first of many.

Need to be more direct with the watercolour, but better paper would help too. (This stuff buckles pretty bad.)

A

An even more unproductive day.

Spent most of the day organizing, tidying up, and watching movies.

Here is the start of a nice little water colour. I'm out of practice, but its fun geting back into it.

A

A less productive day.

Wasted most of it, but rallied fairly well in the evening.

Another larger then usual one, 24"x24"

Almost there on this one. Maybe one more pass.

A

A preview and a pallet

Was prepping a board for a new piece, and while waiting for the gesso to dry, decided to be productive.

Not proper value scales, just tube colour (or mix) plus varying degrees of white added.

A

(Need better lighting in my studio for taking pictures....)

More work

Still not quite there...

Got some new colours (Alizarin Crimson and Indian Yellow in the Open acrylics), Always fun playing with new colours. They're both very transparent colours, so it'll take some time and experimenting to really get to know them.

A

A long days work

Unfortunately unfinished till tomorrow. Just need to define the highlights a bit.

A bit larger then normal (2ftx2ft).
