On the drawing board: The right size tool for the job.

/

Often the tools of the artist are whatever happens to be handy.  When the circles on your plastic geometry template aren't big enough you have to search around for something else to use.  Roll of tape?..coffee cup?...too big.  Skin cream lid?...too small.  Finally I found the perfect size ring right there in my nightstand. I think some of you know what it is. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...no it's not...but...

/

I know, it feels too early to be thinking about Christmas...but in order to start and finish a painting, get cards printed, and make them available for people to order and send out before the big day...well, you gotta start before the leaves fall off the trees. 

Here's a little portion of my holiday painting outline.

A Furry New Endeavor: Painting of Your Pup

/

Templeton at Inner Harbor, Baltimore Maryland

For my boyfriend's birthday present I did a painting of his dog Templeton. While I have done dog and other animals in paintings before, I'd never done one of just a dog as a portrait. It turned out to be a lot of fun, while also being a challenge. 

He loved it (tears even). 

I know many of you have dogs (a.k.a. fur kids) and since I had fun painting Templeton, I'm thinking I'd like put this offer out there for anyone who's interested. 

Click here for details...

Now, I know some of you might be concerned that I've given up painting male nudes and gay themes. Not to worry. I know many artists that also do still lifes or landscapes in addition to their male figures. Having another outlet helps keep things fresh and avoid burn out. For me, dogs are the other subject matter I have a passion for. 

On the Drawing Board: Little Green Men are Here to Probe You!

October is just a month away so time to get started on my Hallowe'en painting. I've done just about all the classic Hallowe'en ghouls, devils, vampires, werewolves, zombies, Frankenstein etc. This time I've been inspired by those flying saucer alien invasion movies from the 1950's...of course I'll put a sexy gay spin on it. Prepare for a gaylien invasion!
