"Genevieve climbed to a high point on a rock at Dillan Beach. Having found a spot out of the January wind, she faced the sun and closed her eyes."
This painting is on display at MEsh Art Gallery in Sebastopol, CA for a limited period commencing November 2007
Exerpt from Rupert Brooke's "The Soldier"
Natalie
Natalie. Always smiling and displaying an incredible head of hair. Very beautiful and unassuming.
A pleasure to be able to show her portrait in the CCArt gallery. The original photo was a candid shot when she was
having a loony moment with a friend, although arm in arm and head to head she was isolated in 'Knockout', enhanced in photoshop,
and then drawn in several different graphic programs. Her hair was left as 'Blocks' to help maintain the
hair volume.
A Self Portrait
Strange. Regardless of time and gravity this is the face I expect every one else to see.
Sadly my own eyes won't deceive me.
A Soldier on leave
This is Piers. Getting ready to face the world.
GRRRRrrrrrrrrrr - Keaton
Here is Keaton. As can be seen from the original photo she was growling like tiger; curling her hands
like claws. The drawing was intended to show her as the extrovert she is.
Rough Draft
The initial line drawing is being over painted. The patches of color were intended to provide
a rough guideline of what the painter was going to be aiming for. Although she appears to be asleep, she was in fact
sunbathing. The Sun Goddess is the working title, and the shadow below hew chin was intended to give the whole
picture an Egyptian feel.
Bodega Head
This painting was commissioned by a lover of coastal art. The background is nearing completion, whilst the
foreground is still in block form waiting to be broken down into the smaller and more identifiable
scree found on cliffs. The final work will include two walkers at the top of the cliff walk to give
a perception of size to the viewer. To date there are some 750 vectors involved and will be close to 2000 by the time
the painting is finished.
Portraits
The original portrait was of an Asian girl. The girl on the right has a slightly different eye formation
and lighting.
Beautiful
I found the original photo on the web and was inspired by the subject.
I then took the original and made two drawings each one an attempt at an earlier
time in her life. I never changed the eyes. I never had to.
Pride
May his God keep him safe.
