Here is a great blog post about the intertwining of art & life, by Nicholas Wilton
http://www.nicholaswilton.com/2013/10/24/trust/ Here are a couple of in-progress images of the painting I am working on for a commission. Since my last post, I have evened out the shading, tightened the lines and added the drawn circle lines and forms. I'm loving the way the drawing came out so far and how the painting is coming together! Now to add the contrasting vermillion red loop shapes and any final touches before the resin is poured. Here are some progress images of another commission I've been working on. (The painting on the right shows the initial stage of another.) While the base colors are all in, there is still plenty to do with shading and edges. Once this stage is done, there is still the drawing element and additional painting details. This horizontal painting is 36" x 48", sometimes I turn the painting on the easel to make it easier to work on, as seen in the first picture. A few weeks ago I completed one of the commissions I've been working on and installed it in a sleek, mid-century home here in the KC area. Working with the couple to develop the initial sketch, this piece took me some time to get it just right. I'm so happy with how it turned out and how amazing it looks in it's new home! Join me for a private reception and artist talk in the Leedy-Volkous gallery.

Leedy Voulkos Art Center 2012 Baltimore Ave Kansas City, MO 64108 Opens Friday, February 1, 2013 6 - 9pm plus normal gallery hours: Thursday - Saturday 11 - 5 Working towards my show at Leedy-Volkous and so far this week has been productive in the studio. Pictured here are two works near completion. The top is 36" x 48" for the show. The left and bottom images show the progress of a commission. The green orb is somewhere between the two photos; neither too yellow or bluish. Today, I'm prepping & priming a 46" x 60" panel - the largest single panel I've worked on so far! I've been focused on making work for my upcoming show in February at Leedy-Volkous Art Center. Several paintings are still in progress while others just need some tweaking before drawing elements are added. In this grouping is also a commission I'm working on and plan to finish this month as well. |
