Summer 2014 Oil Paintings work in progress

Only on livejournal. Here's these paintings I've been working on this month. So far I like what I'm doing, but I'm not all finished with them. First pass!

First week of June

18 by 24 inches, oil paint on mounted hardboard, wip

This is a painting in progress & currently on the easel. It still needs a bit more work, but I thought I'd share what I'm currently working on. I'll write about it's meaning when it's finished. Oil on 18 x 24 x 1 inch hardboard panel. 

Painting from Life

6 by 8 inches, oil paint on canvas board, private collection

I have a little easel box that I bought for sixty dollars, I don't remember when, every so often I use it to paint something from life.

Untitled Paintings

approx. 4 by 8 inches on wood, oil painting sold

6 by 8 inches wood plaque, oil painting sold

Both of these were painted using only French Ultramarine, Burnt Umber, & Titanium White. One of the images is a scan, and the other is from a photo after the cut. I might update the first image, above, later with one that looks a little smoother. I love both of these girls. I'm glad others out there did too.

Sam of Secret Island

This is Sam. An individual who resides in Secret Island. A place outside of regular society where those who wish to frolic as they please, may do so. Where no one is judged, and no is watching what anyone is doing, where one may seek adventure with fellow humans or to find peace in solitude amongst the green of nature, and of love, life, and of creatures and wanderers.

I live to create Art

For the past four months or so.. I feel I've been growing and changing a lot. One aspect of it is, I've been working harder on my work, and also on myself.
I think with all that change going on, it's hard to know which parts of me to share about here.

Honey Bear

digital mixed media collab made under the pseudonym of BrokeBot

Honey Bear, originally named Bear Masked, is about a timid girl who is trying to be fearless. She is encouraged to do so by wearing her favorite head gear. It allows her to feel hidden while at the same time being out there, where she fears to be, but, she decides its worth the risk.
