I don't know about you but I'm getting pumped about football season. So excited that I'm back to painting football art. Capturing the motion as they dash for a TD and all the colorful uniforms makes these interesting subjects. I used a combination of acrylic paint and crayon on paper for this piece. 

I've also included a video demonstration for your viewing pleasure. If you enjoy the new theme there will be plenty more of these around the corner. If not, don't worry I'm always going to sprinkle a few horse and cow paintings in there.

Football paintings also make fabulous gifts for him. If you have a special sports fan in mind be sure to contact me about a commission painting. Although I'm not comfortable with portraits I don't mind doing baseball and football paintings. You can customize the painting by choosing your favorite team, colors and player so they can be incorporated in the painting. Something to keep in mind as we move closer to the holiday season.

Without any further ado you are not all set to view the new video demonstration. Grab some popcorn, sit back and relax while I bring you some entertainment for the next ten minutes. As always your comments are welcome and be sure to share this post with your friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and I'll see you back here tomorrow.

If you can't see the video demonstration in your browser, just click here.

First of all I wanted to apologize to everyone about the glitches on yesterday's post. I copied and pasted the post from blogger where I still have my old blog and for some reason it shuffled the body text around. I fixed the errors and you should be able to reopen the post and see that it actually makes sense now. How embarrassing! Anyhow, I'll try to do a better job of proofreading so that I don't waste your time in the future.

Okay, now we can move on to some new business. This mixed media painting is a combination of acrylic paint, acrylic ink and crayon. It was painted in my studio on 08-25-2010 and I have a video demonstration to prove it! If you do not see the video below click here and you will be redirected to the demo. I hope you've been enjoying the demonstrations as much as I have making them. Once you're finished watching be sure to share this post with your friends and colleagues. Maybe it will give you something new to talk about as you stand around the copier.

This expressive painting was done in the comfort of my studio on 08-26-2010. I used acrylic paint and crayon on Bockingford watercolor paper for this mixed media painting. This may be my favorite painting for this theme to date. I can't tell you how good it feels to say that. 

Horses have been my muse for many paintings but horse racing is a rather new subject. I became interested in horse racing when I was hanging out at my parents house this summer and I glanced over at the TV and the Churchill Downs happen to be on. I remember thinking how interesting and colorful this event was so I took note and started sketching the next day. The majority of these horse racing paintings end up in the recycle bin, but every once in a while I get lucky. New subjects will often riddle me until one day I have a breakthrough and become so confident in the subject that I can start to make it my own. Avoiding discouragement and sticking with the new subject is the key for success. It's important to keep pushing the art and challenging my skills every chance I get, and avoid those trite paintings that just seem too easy. While I may return to familiar compositions as a warm up, I try to remind myself to keep expanding by adding new subjects and techniques.

THREE DAYS LEFT!! Before I get into this painting I just wanted to remind the new and return viewers to subscribe to my new web site. This blog will be active  until the end of the month.

Ivory II was painted in my studio on 08-27-2010. I used a combination of acrylic paint and acrylic ink on archival paper with the assistance of a palette knife. The video demonstrates how using thick paint adds texture and gives me the option to scratch back into the paint thus creating some linear interest. I've really enjoyed making these demos and it's interesting how it makes me focus on the painting without getting distracted. My studio is in my home so it's easy to get caught up in domestic duties, or paint for a few minutes and go check my email, renew something in my Etsy shop, or adjust the radio. The videos really keep me dialed in to the painting and not get to fussy about the details. The decision making process is much easier and the painting flows much better. Look for plenty more of these in the future!

This was painted on 08-27-2010 in comfort of my studio. I've been painting plenty of Maine landscapes and cows so I decided to get back to some horse paintings. I used acrylic paint, crayon and ink on paper for this piece. The ink really made the difference! You can see the brown umber ink to the rear of the of the horse and in the shadows of the neck. Once the painting dried it seemed flat in these area and the acrylic ink is a great way to add some depth to the color without going overboard. I also like how the ink adds some transparency and this can be seen in the neck area where it layers over the white paint and breaks up the color.
