Flood Part 1

This is the next part of the image flood. Ten drawings this time, all of them from life. 18"x24" on all of them. Three of these were done in oil pastel, the others were all graphite and colored pencil.

Prepare for the Flood

Well, it's been a good six months since I last posted anything here. That's about to change. I've still been making art like a madman, of course, and over the next few days all of it will be showing up right here. So, prepare for the flood... of work. There are going to be some massive posts coming up.

It starts now. Here are six of the paintings I did over the summer.

Eclectic Landscape, 10"x10" - acrylic on panel

Self Portrait #4, 18"x24" - acrylic, oil and charcoal on panel

Collision, 12"x24" - acrylic and marker on panel

Looking West #1, 24"x12" - acrylic on panel

Looking West #2, 24"x12" - acrylic on panel

Roses #1, 14"x20" - acrylic on canvas

Printmaking Stuff

Two photos of my relief prints in progress. The first is a photo of a plate, the second is of a proof.

Loose Watercolor

This is a loose, figurative watercolor that I did a couple weeks ago. It's certainly interesting if nothing else.

Apple the Third

Here is apple the third... which is actually a pepper.

Apple the Second

This is the second apple of the bunch. Same size, only 8x10.

Apple the First

I've been doing a bunch of small apple paintings lately. Good practice, ya know? Here's the first one. Just a little guy, only 8x10. More to come.

Simplify, Block It Out

Simplify, they said. Block it out, they said. Break down the human form in order to understand it better. So I did, in this drawing modeled after a painting by Frederic Remington.

Some Improvisation

This drawing came from an assignment. I was supposed to be focusing on the eye. My positioning was pretty poor, however, so I had to improvise. Sometimes the best work comes as a result of having been "in danger," so to speak.

Lips and Geometry

This is another of my drawings that's a little more on the odd side. That's probably why I like it.

A Few More Figures

Two more figure drawings. Take a gander at 'em.

Another Leopard-Heron Opposition Piece

Seems the opposing forces of the heron and the leopard have snuck their way into another one of my pieces. Colored pencil this time, only 9x11.

More Blind Contours

These are two drawings that came out of the time I spent creating the larger blind contour collage piece I posted a few weeks ago. Out of the dozens of small blind contour drawings I made for that piece, these two turned out so well that I didn't have the heart to cut them up. Sometimes accidents can be beautiful.
