Recap of My Recent Paintings
Painting is Intoxicating
Six Spheres #5, Oil Pastels and Acrylics on CanvasSIX SPHERES #5: I’m taking a break from abstract painting, but this is my favorite I have done so far. Just uncanny how color and line achieve that effect.
Weeping Stoneface, Oil Pastels on PaperWEEPING STONEFACE: I drew this to use for my He-Thing graphic novel. But it has a life of its own now.
Late to Work, Oil Pastels on PaperLATE TO WORK: I have definitely been this guy.
Traffic, Oil Pastels on PaperTRAFFIC: This is how I feel a lot.
Gym Teacher, Oil Pastels and Acrylic on CanvasGYM TEACHER: This was the result of me trying different things with my faces. Love how his mustache and hair turned out.
Jean Grey of the X-Men, Oil Pastels and Acrylics on CanvasJEAN GREY OF THE X-MEN: Always been a fan of her. My first real figurative painting. I like some things about it, and others I don’t.
Honest Opinion, Oil Pastels and Acrylics on CanvasHONEST OPINION: I wanted to do a face that was active and smiling.
Vegan Viking, Oil Pastels and Acrylics on CanvasVEGAN VIKING: Don’t really remember the creative process for this one, but I love the paint for his eyebrows and soul patch.
Commute, Oil Pastels and Acrylic on CanvasCOMMUTE: I guess this commuter represents a lot of women I know. Not completely happy with how this turned out, but I’m leaving it alone for now.
