Paintings in Progress...

Here are 2 paintings of the Garden Series that I am working on. The bottom green peice was an unfinished Peacock painting that I hadnt touched in years and really didnt like. After a wash of Naples Yellow, I was ready to start over on it. 

 

A few 'In Progress' Paintings

With the PINK Lincoln its obvious where I'm going. With the others, I still have no idea. (I guess that's half the fun?)

more Owl art..

OWLS!!!!


Im not sure how I got started creating our feathered Nocturnal Friends, but its almost as if I cant stop. Here are a few of my recent owls, plus an owl painting in progress, and a few really awesome postcard prints of my work (concerning owls.)




I enjoy making these, but I wish I could do a better job steering my obsessions. I keep meaning to go on a Kangaroo and a Neal Patrick Harris painting spree... sadly neither of those have come to light (yet.)

Faces (of a few paintings In Progress)

Here are a few faces of some of my current work. Most of these paintings are at least half way finished. After so many paintings of animals in profile, I thought it would be nice to make a post where every subject has 2 eyes.




I gotta tell ya, all this Lincoln Painting has me yearning to re-read "Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Slayer,"which I totally recommend, by the by. I can imagine many more mono-cromatic Lincolns after I rock that book again. Find books on Abraham Lincoln at Barnes & Noble, and possibly save with this code

Finished: 2 Narwhal Paintings!

Once I discovered these creatures actually exist, I became obsessed and started a few Narwhal based projects. Here are 2 Oil on Canvas paintings just finished!

My Current Owl Phase...

Some one recently told me they wanted their first "Purchase of Art as a Married Couple" to come from me, and to be one of my sweet Owls. I was so touched and so inspired that Ive since started several more Owl paintings and I have spent a bunch of time on detailed Owl drawings.

I hope to soon finish the Owl paintings Ive started, but for now here are several of my completed works:



To see more of these owls, Please Check my ETSY page.

Finished: Steggy Brunch

I'm quite proud of this dino painting. I think its a good ideal of what I want most of my paintings to be: colorful, whimsical, and different from what you've seen before.

Oil on Canvas. 16"x 20"

Two New Additions to Flight Series...

I havent been able to paint as much as I'd like recently, but I was able to finish up these little cuties.

5"x5" oil on canvas

Finshed. Hummingbird in Orange

6"x6". oil and acrylic on canvas.


ive been working on this little guy for a while- off and on. I have a few more bird paintings to finish, but ive promised my self not to START anymore in 2011. This is probably gonna be the last humming bird you see from me in quite a while.

I finished my first monster painting...

mmm... So I think I finished my first (doodle)monster painting. Its itty bitty. 5x5inches. It has an unfinished sister painting that should be finished in about 6 weeks, so check back for that one. That one is a bit larger and Im probably gonna be able to do more with it.

I dont really know where Im going with these, but that's pretty exciting right now. Im really motivated to continue these and see where and what they evolve to. I posted pics of the process below.

My first monster doodle. I do love to add tentacles.








I think I had a purple canvas already painted and ready for a subject...




The eyes still needed a bit more...

It seems finished, but im not sure if it FEELS finished. we'll see.



PS- Thank you , Amanda Burns, for the monster idea.

a few paintings Im working on.

Yesterday, I was able to fit a few good painting hours in. These are a few of the pieces Im working on now..

2010 paintings / Leave a Comment, Win some art.

The Skinny: Post a comment. Win some art.

Details: Tell me which painting (of mine) is your favorite, and what kind of subject matter you would like to see me start painting.

In early January I'll randomly select SEVERAL (if not all) comments and send the writers some art. I was thinking I'd send a RHINO DOODLEs, a PAINTING CALENDAR, or maybe a colorful sketch of their suggestion. I am happy to send this art to anywhere in the world, so this little competition is open to anyone/anywhere. I'd really like as many suggestions as possible- so tell your friends and your lovers.















































Back Story: I started to post a smattering of work I've completed in the last year when I realized: "Holy-Moley I painted a ton of birds in 2010!" New 2011 Goal: I will finish the Bird paintings I have started, and I shall start NO MORE. Of course, Ive started a few other paintings but im really looking for new direction and I'd really love to hear a few suggestions.
