Buoy

This is an etching that has been overpainted. It is a reworking of a larger painting, Gravitas Still life, that I posted before. Although in this version I have rotated the image 90º anti-clockwise.

The paper was treated with clear acrylic resin before applying the oil paint.

Art Shop

Be one of the first to buy this amazing mousemat!
Thought I'd try out opening a cafepress shop here.
and added a link to it in the column to the right.
Pretty cool, easy to set up. Even Dilbert has a cafepress shop!
Maybe more items will get added later. Check back for updates.

Confido

This painting is 24 inches square. It is a self portrait, based on my family motto "Confido." The family motto was on my keyring (hand symbol) so I included the set of keys in the foreground.

Location is in a kitchen and has a biblical feel to it as well. The oil jar, and mortar and pestle in the background are, at the same time, cooking instruments and tools of the artist.

Oil on canvas.

Observatory

This painting is called Observatory, not because there is an astronomical building nearby, but because it's an area near my home where I can see the stars a little better.

Going for a walk at night time in this area, the stars are more visible than from most places in town. Light pollution usually interferes, but from here I've even seen a few satellites.

Painting is alkyd and oil paint.
22 inches wide.

Little Brother Figure Painting

"Little Brother Colin".
Yes, another inventive title for a painting. :p Sometimes it's easier describing what is in the picture.
And those are my feet at the bottom of the image. Colin posed for this picture but didn't stay awake for very long.
Cremnitz white oil paint was used in this to give it a more bulked up quality.
Painting is about 24 inches square.
