Sisters

Another post tonight of a painting that was a gift. I have two students whom I teach English and science, and they are both fairly small Korean girls. I have a giant trench coat, and one day they both tried to wear it. I got a photo, and I thought it was so great that i had to create a painting of it, in the yellow-orange-red-purple color style. I think it turned out really well, but the only photo I have of it is really blurry. I'll try to take another one.

Break Dance

Here is a painting that was done as a gift. My wife's sister was getting married, so I did the cheap thing and painted something for a gift. She works in hip-hop dancing in China, and she was just furnishing a new home, so I figure a painting of some break dancers would be nice. I basically went online and found a few pictures of dancers, painted them in some kind of monochromatic style, and then did a sort of outline emanating from them. I think it turned out very well.

 

Architexture

Finally, I am going to post a whole bunch of painting images that have been piling up. I have been just hoarding these paintings, and not letting the world (the handful of people that may stumble upon this blog) see them. Tonight, I'm putting at least a few of them up.

The first one is my first painting of 2015, this architectural one. I saw a photo on my facebook feed that someone else took, and I was inspired. The buildings have so much texture to them, and that's what I wanted to show, hence the lame name. I updated the colors a bit, and voila, my view of the picture. I think it came out really well:

And, since I basically plagiarized, I'll go ahead and post the original photo, stolen from facebook:

If I find the original source, I'll update this post and credit the photographer.
