Day 11 of Posting 4 New Pics a Day!

You know, I never before now realized how terribly the automatic anti-redeye feature of most modern cameras can mangle a painting that has a alot of, y'know, red.

41) AbstractJaws



Working on practicing and implementing some of those deliberate controls of the emotional impact of design, I've been doing dozens of little almost motifs, abstract pieces like this. Random one here, I might post others later, or find some way to bunch them all together if there's interest.

42) CurvedFigure



Another abstract piece, trying to sense the masses of the form while ignoring pure anatomy for the moment, the large planes, rounded depth of form without resorting to much shading - I like the style, there's potential here for some more interesting figure drawings, as well as paintings.

43) Gesture4



Another random page from about an hour or so of gesture drawing the human figure - I'm getting better.

44) RedLand



Ack, this hellish piece. The failed paintings in a row I just kept painting over them. Eventually I decided that there must be something wrong with me, so I limited myself to a strict three color palatte, and forced out this nightmarish alien landscape of dead bone trees partially lit by the last nuclear gasp of a cold and dying star.
