Man is unbound, yet the limitations imposed on him are growing bigger, social conditioning and strict rules of movement in a world where the man stopped following the given guidelines and got lost on the way, he ignored the signs and got cast away from the tribe.

I did this small study on the hot sidewalks of West La, you would think that there won't be much activity on Sunday but you'd be wrong, occasionally dog walkers were blocking my view cause there's plenty of them but I was able to pull off a quick study before the day ended.

I started this painting earlier but it needed more work since there was a lot going on in the background, there's some palette knife on the left that was needed to make an even bigger contrast distinction between the lights and the darks, direct sunlight creates dramatic play between these polarities, so around this particular time is the result that came to life in form of a painting.

"Peach in purple" 6x6 inch Art Daily painting Still Life on canvas

6 x 6 inch Oil on canvas

Before I actually compose the still life I like to visualize it, in this case it was mostly color combinations, I like to have an idea what its gonna look like prior to the actual object arrangement, the only thing that wouldn't agree to that was the actual peach, it would just not sit still, you'd think it should just stay flat on the table but no..., its like a sitter that likes to move a lot, I fixated it between the foldings and it seemed to work!

"Red cover" 6x8 Female nude and article in Professional Artist magazine

6 x 8 inch Oil on canvas panel

Here's a new nude from last night, it has a nice color play throughout the painting, when figuring out the composition I try to focus on the things that 'matter' and leave the other objects within the interior of secondary importance.

Also there's an article mention about my work and selling art online in the new July/August issue of Professional Artist Magazine.
