Thursday Painting Time

A new gorilla painting...


A self-portrait for February...


Based on a short story by Isaac Asimov...

Painting two more

This week's back-page comic ad for my website in the Twin City's own City Pages. Keep your eyes peeled!





I've been painting a lot more than I've ever had since high school. Actual painting, not digital painting. So there are some new ones that I've started tonight/yesterday. The top one is an eventual self-portrait of sorts, and the bottom one is inspired by an Isaac Asimov short-story, "The Last Question." There's a third canvas ready to go, but I'll wait a few before I start on that one, too.



I finished the Gorilla painting tonight. I've decided to title it: "iGorilla."



I don't know who made this image, but I get a real kick out of it. So whomever did this, salut!

Gorilla Painting with Golden

I've been wanting to paint again for a long while, and this last week, I've started this painting. Here's what it's looking like right now. I need to work on the mouth, and of course, add pupils. Still a work in progress, mind you!



I've been painting with Golden™ Open Acrylic®, which is pretty neat. I don't pretend to understand the chemistry behind it, but this stuff takes a lot longer to dry! So I can take my time, and not have the metaphorical gun to my head of a quick drying time that acrylic usually means. (Though I'd never ever use Alizarin Crimson, if I can help it, this is a nice photo)



I've also been using Golden™'s fluid acrylics too. They paint like cream!

I'll take the time to write a better review of Golden™ paint in a later post.



Before I forget: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

TTYL!
