My color palette, so wrong but I know it.

Two Undercooked Pancakes, In Progress

Started two new pancake portraits; the first is a present for Facebook friend Laura, the second is a new Obama pancake.  As with the recent Chuck Colson, I think I'll tint the acrylic with a thin but softening layer of oil paint and overpaint again with acrylic.

New Tebow....

A Tim Tebow Large Blue Christian Faith Art Painting Portrait

A new painting of New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow. This replaces a Tebow portrait I accidentally put my foot through in the studio, and is one of three Tebow portraits I've had to repaint for one reason or another since I started painting him a few months ago.

I'm working on a new painting of Tim but in a different pose. Hopefully that will break the curse.

Madgalena's Michael Jackson Eyes Painting, Revised

Magdalena's Michael Jackson Tear portrait painting, revised.  I finished this painting a few days ago, but then decided to put a few more hours into the canvas before mailing it off to Gdańsk.  I painted a series of much smaller MJ's a few years ago; this is my first full color portrait emulating the style of those smaller works. The painting is in acrylic, utilizes a good amount of copper and bronze metallics, and is sealed with a clear acrylic matte spray, the latter of which evens out the sheen but you can still appreciate the metallic.  The 2 by 3 foot canvas is a wrap-around and I paint the edge black, so it displays well without a frame.  Currently I'm asking 200 for one of these plus mailing (at cost) which is between 30 and 50 depending on how far you are from the State of Minnesota in the United States.

Bryan Ferry portrait, completed.

Much better. Moodier!

Applied with a rag. I'm also using a liberal amount of mineral spirits to move the paint around and thin it, which means the tint should dry in a matter of hours.

Mixing russian blue and black oil paint plus dryer to tint the background of the Bryan Ferry portrait.

In progress, a portrait of Bryan Ferry. I think the reference photo is straight off the back of a vinyl cover; I usually try never to work from one recognizable source, but this is for Bryan's Dad's birthday-it isn't going farther than that. Still need to darken the background and tone the skin with oil washes (over the acrylic.)
