Well I’ve been fairly busy this week. I finished two 20″ x 10″ acrylic paintings that I’m really excited about. I don’t want to say too much right now, but I’m doing something really different from my usual stuff. Still my style but with an added bonus I guess you could say.

The picture to the right gives you a sneak peek at the painting that’ll be featured in this week’s video. The video will be up Sunday and I’ll be auctioning the painting so stay tuned.

The other painting will be up on the site on Sunday as well.

I typically don’t work in acrylics but I liked being able to go from vision to totally dry, varnished painting within a single day. I’ll probably be doing more.

In random life news, I’m teaching myself to play guitar. That makes the fact that I did two paintings in two days even more impressive considering the state of my fingers.

“Farm Fresh” is now available in my Etsy shop as a Limited Edition Print! The edition is of 25 8×8″ archival prints on 100% cotton rag fine art paper. Signed and numbered. They’re spiffy!

Also available in limited edition is the painting from my latest video last week. You can also pick those up on Etsy.

This is the latest in my series of small portraits. It’s approximately 8.5″ x 11″ - mixed media on hardboard.

If you’re interested in modeling for this series make sure you get in touch with me! You don’t have to be a professional model and I welcome all shapes and sizes.

Kristen paints some pretty great stuff herself. You should swing by her website and take a look.

She also posted a video up on YouTube when she received her portrait in the mail. Check it out below:

 I’ve been enjoying the portraits and I think I’m going to expand out their themes a bit more but maintain the same feel.  If you’re interested in having your portrait painted in this style make sure to get in touch with me and let me know.   

Got around to photographing this painting today. It’s part of the Morphology series. It’s a 12″ x 12″ canvas. Mixed media (collage, oils.) I have a few more from the series in progress. A suspension worm-girl among them. She’ll probably be finished before the rest.

I stretched a 38″ x 30″ canvas today so I hope to get started on that soon as well. Most likely it will be part of the series.

I can feel ideas churning in my gut, so by tomorrow I should have a finished preliminary drawing and be able to start on the base collage.

Basically I just hope to get some sleep tonight. I like the creative energy and everything, but it tends to keep me awake if I don’t submit to its will immediately. You know in Audition when the woman pokes the needles into the guy’s eyes? It’s something like that.
