I finally began work again this mornings painting is for a competition coming up
Still some work to do , but i like it now i need to find a title was thinking -primardial-
I'm not fininshed added friends to my links so--- Lori and Sheri & Ed I haven't forgotten you

changes to come

I have not been blogging very much, I'm on Saatchi chating with other artist and have made many new friends.This has brought me to re-think my blog

I will re-do my link list to be able to have both my worlds, so all my old friends can meet my new friends.

Stay tuned...........change is a comin... in my work as well


this painting was done about a year ago 24x36 oil on canvas palette knife 

Finished today I placed my daughter Claire beside the painting to show scale in this pic the detail is not great
i had a bit of trouble with the chin amd background color
The photo i used was the best the client had ,but it had it's difficulties i hope she likes it 

 

Second session on this painting it's not easy getting a perfect resemblance . Working over gold means not being able to fix any mistakes ,much like watercolor Once touch it doesn't come off
This is probably the most challenging work I've done
Guess i'll keep working till i get it right 

 

inspiration found me

This is a photo of M.Marc LeBlanc he sudenly passed away in 2000i think at the age of 25
I got a commission to do his portrait in large format over gold I began this morning and things are progressing well
I felt very sad for the loss his parents must feel
I feel the work i'm doing ,is part of something important
Handsome isn't he!
