Oil on illustration board, 21.5”x16” This painting was… hard. It was too big in my head to see, and I didn’t know how to do what I knew needed to be done. I was just about ready to give up on it when it snapped into place with one of those resounding mental clicks you don’t get too often, and from there it just flowed. I like this painting.

I’m so happy with this painting. (Not quite sure about the color balance. We’ll see.)

Hey Tumblr, have a new painting. Oil on 8”x10” gessoed masonite. (it’s special because I have no actual opinion on it. the strongest feeling I can muster is pride over the tree, but beside that this is overall a pretty thoroughly alright piece of art, the end.)

So Chris Rahn very graciously just answered an email I sent him, and gave me some really good critique and some equally really encouraging/flattering compliments (even if I don’t really believe him - “kind of a Donato vibe starting to happen”, hahaha, sure, but thank you all the same~).

Here’s some of his beautiful art. One day I will have stared at these long enough to learn how to color palette/compose/paint!

Technically a preparatory drawing for the painting. It, ah… sort of got away from me? (the snake isn’t supposed to look so mean/threatening)

About

portrait

"There's more honor in over-reaching and failing with ambition, than in limited success. And if we measure our goals by the best of the best, at least we're unlikely to run out of challenges."
