"Carrie" Female profile 5x7 Alla prima oil portrait painting

5 x 7 inches Oil on Canvas panel
Full profile here, I visualized this painting in my head first and where do I want the face to be exactly and decided further right, makes it more interesting instead of the usual middle of the canvas placement, it also points where she's looking in a more direct way.

"Grace" 5x7 Seated female nude Original artwork for sale

5 x 7 inches Oil on Canvas panel
The angle was the key here which placed the figure towards the right, it anticipates movement and shows the sensibility of the female form more, sometimes certain poses give more hints about emotions or thoughts then others, you can never intellectualize all of this in the beginning since most of the problematics are resolved during the creative process, you can only try to visualize the result.

"The Swimmer" (Standing Female back) Modern Art oil painting for sale

5 x 7 inches Oil on Canvas panel

This female figure seen from behind was inspired by the 2012 Olympics in London, yes I watched some of it too!
There's a certain texture throughout the painting that suggests water and somehow found its place organically in the painting, originally it was just the initial turpentine wash but I kept its abstract quality all the way to the end since it served its purpose.

"Blank paper note #3" Contemporary still life art

6 x 6 inches Oil on Gallery wrapped canvas
sold 
So it's been a while since I did any still lives, I enjoy going back to a certain subject with a new take on it, its never the same, I had to deal with subtle variations in value here and explore the nuances of light falling over the subject, constant comparison is the key in getting things right in the painting process.

I tried taking a decent photo of this painting today but the weather wasn't cooperating, it was gloomy and rainy kinda so didn't get the proper daylight for a good shot, I'll try to take another one tomorrow if the conditions are right so you can get a truer representation of the original...

"July" Impressionist Female figure landscape oil painting

6 x 8 inches Oil on primed panel


In this particular scene I used the figure as an integrated part of the landscape, shapes merging in and out, colors reflecting each other, the warm light of July enveloping all forms, shadows quickly shifting their shape as the sun moves on.

"Zen #2" Japanese model Original art oil paintings

5 x 7 inches Oil on canvas panel
sold 
There's a preliminary drawing in charcoal that I did for this painting couple of months back so I decided to finally paint it, the drawings are not necessarily identical to the paintings and I'm not using them for tracing purposes, they both stand on their own, its for a better understanding of shapes particularly and the basic planes of light and shadow, the color comes organically.

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.
