blank be gone

commissioned triptych, each canvas measures 24"x36"

i've slacked on the picture taking lately, so i made a point to snap a quick photo of this piece before it gets delivered tomorrow. you might remember a series of paintings i created for a healthcare project last year...this is another piece that will be on display with the others. after hanging all of the pieces, the waiting room still had a remaining blank wall that really needed something on it, so we decided to go with a three piece that will coordinate with this.

day 7 - back in the saddle

commission, 2'x6', acrylic on canvas

i just wrapped this piece up earlier this evening and even got to go out for mexican food afterwards. chuy's chips and queso. so nice. and day 7 is now really day 7 again! this is the final piece in the healthcare project. that feels so good to type. now onward - to the longhorns...

 

day 6 (a little late)

commission. 2'x6', acrylic on canvas.

it's thursday morning and super-drizzly outside, so i had to take another rough indoors shot. this is the fourth healthcare piece.

notice the tree skirt that i "made" (aka: a white fitted t-shirt sheet). at least he's not bare now. also, notice the two presents under the tree. those are for me. i have been advised not to creep on them, though. hence, i am not allowed to do any type of poking on the presents. realistically, michael is at work today. i could poke all i wanted and he would never know. but, i won't. i did give him my word, and i really do like to be surprised. it has also been suggested that i remove my glasses this afternoon when fedex comes to the door to deliver another package. that way i will not be able to read the return address on the box. 

day 5 on 6

commission. 20"x48", acrylic on canvas

a day late. i'm blaming it all on the icy weather we've been having here in dallas. i'm working on day 6 right now and will try to give it a post later tonight.

3'x4', acrylic on canvas 

untitled

just experimenting with an idea in my head. 4'x4', acrylic, paper, and thread on unprimed canvas. i'm planning on adding some more threads...at least. 

no, really...sit

3'x3', acrylic on canvas. this one was a bit of a stretch for me. i know it might just look like another chair, but it was a challenge for me to create. i'm trying to get better about not over-working my paintings. i painted this one all in one sitting and used a lot of loose brushwork. i also worked in soft whites and pastels...a color palette i'm not used to working with. looking at it now in the photo, there are a couple of perspective issues i might want to work on...but, maybe i shouldn't let myself....maybe...

sit, please

30"x40", acrylic on canvas. soon to be for sale. i'm creating a body of work for a show next month. this piece is a part of the body. i'll try to post more pieces as i create them...

just a few balloons...
