We make them grow

Sorry I have been so vacant lately.  I have been working on a film for Cloud Cult and have a very tight deadline of Feb. 22nd to complete art and all marketing materials.  I am posting another painting from 08 since I have not been able to paint much in the last couple of weeks.  After the film I expect to dig into the studio and then head on the road with the band completing paintings every night.  This one is titled "we make them grow"

Sacrifice

This is a painting done in Acrylics... I am not sure who the female is in the painting but she has been haunting me for a while.  This is the first painting where I was able to capture her gaze. 

Abstract on my desk

This is a fun little abstract I pulled from my studio.  I have not really shown anyone but I seem to have a connection with this painting.  As you can see my paintings have Schizophrenia.  One moment they need to be realistic and other times abstract emotion seems to take hold.  This particular painting was done in Acrylics.

I am reposting stage 3.  I  still have quite a bit of work on this but thought you might enjoy the progress.  I just did some more experiments with my camera.  Word of advice... most of you know  but, make sure and do some experiments with the white balance on your camera before shooting your work.  (I was to eager to post it)  

Have been working on this on and off.  Sorry about the bad color, I am having issues with my camera capturing the correct color.  The flesh tones are much more realistic.  I will be posting the final product when it is done.  Going to have some drinks with a friend... you all should do the same.

Painting of Red

This is the in progress portrait I am working on of Red.  I am not sure what it is but, I am really enjoying the meditative process of working in this format.  Listening to Bon Iver while working on this painting...  Another great midwest musician.
