Details About This Expressive Equine Painting

Title: ‘Abstract Horse Portrait No.6′ Mixed media on paper, measures 15.5″ x 13.5″

Inspiration Behind The Art

This was one of the last paintings of a long session that was filled with horse art. Once I get on a roll the session flies by and at times I forget what I’ve painted and what I’m working on at that moment. So I kind of get lost in the moment. That’s pretty much what happened here, in the midst of creating I got caught up with shapes, colors and brushwork. that’s what was important at the time and nothing else mattered. When this happens you know that you’re in a good place for painting.

Title: ‘Abstract Horse Portrait No.4″ Mixed media on paper, measures 14.5″ x 14.5″

Inspiration Behind The Art

This is one of those paintings that happened very spontaneously. I could’ve cared less if I were painting a cow, cityscape or anything else – I just wanted to paint. Those type of sessions are always the best, and it doesn’t matter if I produce anything beautiful because it’s really about being in the moment. Letting everything else go so that I can escape into the creative side of my personality. There’s nothing I would rather be doing at that moment than standing at the easel with a loaded brush and slinging paint. It’s a wonderful place to be-now go paint!

Title “Abstract Horse Portrait #3″ Mixed media on paper, measures 16.5″ x 14″

Inspiration Behind The Artwork

If you’re up-to-date with what’s been going on around here, then you know I was selected as the 2012 Kentucky Derby Artist. My artwork will be used for programs, tickets, posters and memorabilia such as mugs, calendars,  prints and more. It’s a major honor to have been selected and it kind of hit me yesterday that the derby is only two and a half months away. I’m really looking forward to being at the derby for the first time and seeing my artwork displayed everywhere-cool stuff!

Anyhow. I figured I would start painting some horse art again since taking a long break after finishing the derby commission in October. I guess I was all horsed out at the time but not now! You can expect plenty more horse art in the near future.

Details About This Contemporary Cow Art

Title “Cow On Orange” Mixed media on paper, measures 13″ x 16″

Inspiration Behind The Artwork

My focus was using orange. It’s a fantastic color and I rarely use it for backgrounds so I thought I would give it a shot. This painting also features a touch of green crayon and all the wild brushwork you would expect from my type of work. This is a fun piece and the orange gives it an extra sense of playfulness.

If you like what you see be sure to browse the cow portfolio. It’s full of expressive cow paintings just like this one!

Details About This Urban Artwork

Acrylic on canvas, measures 36″ x 24″

Inspiration Behind The Artwork

Last fall I was cycling to work and would occasionally bring my camera to capture some of the scenery. The photo I took initiated this composition, but I can tell you I used my imagination for most of it. It was one of those pieces that I kind of got lost in the moment and never referred to the photo once the idea was in place.

This piece is now available at Chasen Galleries in Richmond, Virginia.

Mixed media on paper, various sizes

Inspiration Behind The Artwork

I’ve been enjoying the idea of using a simple and sometimes blank white background lately, and these paintings represent some of the latest examples of this technique. It shows some of the lines and brushwork better than a busy, or painted background, and I like the simplicity of it. The busy-ness of the subject contrasts nicely with the quiet background. Look for more samples of this idea in future works.

Details About This Portrait Of George Washington

Title ‘George No.5′, Acrylic on paper, measures 12″ x 14″

Inspiration Behind The Artwork

Portraits are new for 2012 and I decided to explore some of the past Presidents. It’s been an interesting journey since starting the new theme and I’ve really enjoyed, or enjoying the challenge. Since my style is so loose, portraits were always something I avoided. However, I now feel I’m on my way to blending my style with faces. There’s still plenty of room for improvement but I like where it’s going!

Details About These Abstract NFL Football Paintings

These are a few more samples of what’s been going on at the easel lately. I’ve had a great time getting reacquainted with football paintings and kind of sad the season will be over soon. After watching the games yesterday I have to say I’m pleased to see the rematch between the Giants and Patriots. Should be an interesting conclusion to the 2011-12 football season.

This piece is inspired from all the football I’ve been watching on the weekends.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy the games this weekend.
