St. Louis Cardinals painting

art, painting

Finished my St. Louis Cardinals painting this morning while waiting for Windows 10 to be installed. Actually started this painting last year at the Ozarks Craft Festival. Usually always finish artwork so a bit surprised that it sat unfinished for this long. Going to a Cardinals game in a few weeks and so got the fever to finish the painting!

The painting is done in acrylic paint and the dimensions are 12 x 12 inches. Even though it is a simple painting ran into a few problems along the way. One of the problems was that I needed to have the logo stand out and have it be the same color as the threads on the ball. Another small problem was getting the ball to look circular. Kept having to add curve around the edges with white. I like the way that the metallic blue turned out. Of course the original painting looks way better than the photo that I took.

Grunge is back – paintings and postcard sets for sale

art, music, painting

Grunge postcard set – on etsy store here

It’s been a while since these paintings were done but were created with a sense of nostalgia. Was really transfixed the first time that I saw the Smell Like Teen Spirit music video. It was so different and entertaining. Hooked on this new music called grunge.

Later on bought a stereo system which had my first cd player. The first two cd’s that I bought were classic Queen and Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam became my favorite album and was obsessed with it. Later on got into the likes of Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, and Stone Temple Pilots.

Mark Lanegan painting – SOLD

The first painting that was done was of Mark Lanegan. Mark Lanegan is my absolute favorite singer. Enjoy his voice and haunting vocals. This happens to be my favorite painting as well. Ended up posting a pic of the painting on a blog and it sold instantly. After that decided to do the Chris Cornell painting. Later decided to just do a grunge series of paintings. The paintings that were done after Chris Cornell were painted with only black paint on a white canvas. Only using black made for a better and higher quality painting.
