So, I have been painting for quite a while, now and have decided to focus just on that (and raising my little boy) for a while. I will post a few that I have digital pictures of. Please add your criticism/comments if you like.
I know I need to get a good website together, but I can't seem to get good enough at web stuff to do what I want to do. I definitely don't have the money to pay a professional, but does anyone have any suggestions for ideas on getting a site up? Thanks. |
phpNuke turned out to be pretty easy and fun for me to play with, but I have a fair amount of patience for monkeyfucking around with things.
Slang helped me by staying in the corner and not saying much unless I asked a specific question ... |
lemme know when you get the site up and posted. I'm looking for new artwork for the office.

The nude is excellent! The still life is quite nice, too.
|
Good feel for value and light. Watercolor and acrylic? Whats the scale? Put up some more!
|
Thanks for the props. The first one is a still life entitled "Aqua Plate Still Life". It is done in oil and measures 12" X 12". The other is a nude study in acrylic. It is about 24" X18". I have done some larger paintings too, but haven't yet captured them with my digital camera. I will post another I did the other day here in a few minutes.
Also, I have a couple up for auction on Ebay. Here is one that is actually selling Mitchell Farm |

Here is the one I finished on Tuesday. I used a picture of a rose in photoshop and played with the gradient map and then put a cutout filter on it. I printed the results and then painted. It's kind of like an abstraction of an abstraction of an abstraction.
The canvas is 30" X 30". The medium is acrylic on canvas. The first image is my painting. The second was my reference picture that I bastardized in photoshop. |
That is just totally cool! I like the painting much better than the photoshop.

Congrats on the Ebay auction, that's awesome. I have always wanted to have someone paint my portrait, something like the scene in Titanic, or As Good As it Gets. Partially nude, but tastefully done. But, I just get older and saggier the longer I wait. :) Please, show us more!

Thanks, Wolf. :) I have a hard time liking my own painting as much as the manipulated photo, but it is a fun process. I felt like I was doing a paint by number.
I will get some more up soon. I just need to get pictures of the ones I have. |
Getting Serious, now.
Well, here we are back where we started.
For those who don't know, Dakota and I decided to leave the farm life and re-enter the thriving metropolis of Fort Collins, Colorado. It feels like a metropolis, anyway. We have been back in Colorado for about 2 months, now and are adjusting well. Right now, I am still looking for a job and Dakota just got hired with a company in Louisville and starts next Monday. While I wait to become enslaved by a lifesucking corporation, I am concentrating on getting involved in the art community. I have joined the Colorado Coalition of Artists and am renting a studio at the headquarters here in Fort Collins. So, painting has become my job and I would like to get my work into some galleries in larger places, like Denver, Santa Fe, and wherever it may fit in well. Right now, I am still new to this submission stuff. I was wondering if anyone out there has any knowledge or expertise they would like to share with me on the subject? How do I submit to galleries? How do I know if I am getting ripped off, etc.? Also, I am attaching some of my paintings (not the best photos). I would love any feedback you all may have for me on these. http://www.sugarbeaddesigns.com/Images/092505 008.jpg |

Your depth of emotion is evident in your work.
Good luck. Most important thing, though, is to enjoy what you are doing. That will show in your pieces. |
