Art show alert!

Last minute, I decided this is the year that I partake in AWOL Gallery’s annual square foot show.

The idea is artists unanimously submit a piece of art work that is 12×12”. All the works are sold at one set price…and people buy work based simply on aesthetics, and not the status of the artist who created it. Anyway, this is the 8th year of this show and it is a huge media event. I love that I’m finally a part of it!

Here are the details:

I hope you can come out and spot my paintings!!!

I doodled this. On a canvas. I love her.

Thoughts?

porn, eh?

what’s that all about? Why is this artist SO interested in porn?

Well. Once upon a time, I read this book:

Not only is this book a thoroughly entertaining read, but it offers tons of insight into the porn industry.

Read it!

I participate in this group show annually. This year, not only did I sell a painting on opening night, but the show got a sweet little review in The Star. Yay!

I have several commissioned paintings on the go right now. One of my friends wanted me to create something using this photo from her wedding day:

I turned the photo into a beautiful painting using oil paints applied with a palette knife. The end result? A classic black and white portrait made modern with texture!

newest addition!

I painted all weekend!

Even though I started this painting a couple of weeks ago when I was painting at MAC, I didn’t get a chance to finish it till now…
