While I'm up

While I'm up I might as well blog. I have been painting I swear. Actually I have went though quite a metamorphose. I have continued drawing the nudes, but I have started a 16"x20" project. It some what a painting a day type of thing except instead of tiny 6"x6" paintings, of which I still do, I wanted to challenge myself to a larger size. I am a full time artist why not paint like one. So far most of them are trees and dramatic land scape. However I have implimented this idea, It's called the "Wet Paint Special". If you decide to buy one of these 16"x20" paintings within 7 days of it's completion it is 1/2 price. I have also set these paintings at $400 each as regular price. Which in turn makes the "wet paint" price $200. I call it "Wet Paint" because it takes them about a week to be dry to the touch. I don't know I just love the idea of selling a painting before it drys. Maybe I'm just weird like that.

Now for something a little different

I haven't written in here for some time but lately I have been doing some work quite out of the ordinary for my work. I felt a need to return to form and the study of the human figure. I wanted them to flow quickly and I wanted to use my hands so the natural medium for me to use would be pastel. Not to mention the softness you can obtain buy using this medium. I need the practice. I'm enjoying the continuing expansion and development of my talents.

Still Painting

Well I'm onto a new painting. This piece is very exciting! It seems with each painting I feel it's my best work to date. I will be posting a picture of it soon. I would like to get a little further along in it though before I do that. So keep checking back. See you soon.

An explosion of art!

I feel as if my art is exploding with inspiration. I just finish another piece the day before yesterday. This piece is 36" x 48". I've been flowing with inspiration. I don't know weather it's the weather or if it's because the festival season is coming, or if I'm recapturing my love for painting. What ever it is, it's coming on strong. It's really strange how I feel when I paint lately. It has the feel of someone in love. When an idea is coming together it gives me goosebumps, and a chill runs down my spine. Then my heart melts. I think I'm in love with art!?! I don't get it either but who understands love anyway right?

Painting away

Well I've been spending the last few days painting, well, like a mad man. Yes painting a lot of new stuff. If your a Volare fan, that's the hearts with wings then you'll be happy to know there are more to choose from now. Also yesterday I completed a 24"x24" of an Irish country side. I combined the some elements from other paintings and came up with a quite quaint composition. Wow, try to say that a few times really fast.

Finished!

Last night or really this morning I finished my new piece! :)

A BIG JOB!!!

With all the news as of late I feel extremely compelled to paint. My mission is to spread uplifting and positive energy though my art. It's Gods gift to me and responsibility to do this. As of late I'm working on an extremely exciting piece. This piece is a huge 40"x 60" Painting. Now don't get me wrong I have done larger pieces before and this size as well but this piece has the potential to be my best work as of yet. Now this is all subjectional but I feel GREAT about this piece. I love the way it's coming together. Here's a look.
