Intricate

zoom shot.

I'm trying to step out of the box... tripping!

I'm also having a go at acrylics which are way way outside my comfort zone.

This is larger than my regulars, it's a 16*20 inch canvas panel.

also has quite a bit of metalic GOLD- in his robe- which my camera can't seem to catch.

p.s. i hate acrylics :(

Dorian Gray

It's been a while since i've done a book painting.

I was reading Oscar Wildes "the picture of Dorian Gray"

which ended up as part of the setup for this painting.

I'm not quite sure it's finished though. :p

NYSE

against my better judgment, i thought i'd have a go at artist karen jurick s' "different strokes from different folk" challange.

why against my better judgment? because i don't normally do so much detail in paintings,

and as it happens this weeks challange is a painting about the NY stock exchange! gazillion people, paper, screens.... AHHHHH.

needless to say i took much longer time - burn some neurons- painting than i normally do.

why don't i take some time- PLAN- the painting before jumping in with two feet i ask you, it would save me so much time problem fixing.

this was very interesting. I'm not exactly ecstatic about the out come, but i'm not unpleased either. so there. peace and out.
