CREATIVE
POST CONTRIBUTORS: All | A.D. Cook | Bob Barnes | Frank Mallinder
On this delightful Saturday evening, I am indulging myself in the magnificent experience of painting in the studio, and I must say, it is an absolute blast. The creative process of art has always fascinated me, and tonight is no exception. With each stroke of the brush and each splatter of paint, I feel my mind being transported to a world of pure creativity and self-expression.
I love creating abstract artworks. I guess, in many ways, I always have. There is a certain freedom and energy in creating the art, and that energy goes forward with the art for eternity.
I’m enjoying a fantastic day in the studio, putting together a few abstract paintings on panels and having a blast! I’ll look forward to sharing pics soon. Cheers!
The Vegas Underground at Tap House in Las Vegas is the place to be on Monday nights. Always, standing room only. Tonight was no exception. Kudos to all the amazing talent that stops in to share their love and music with us all.
Created in beautiful pearl metallic blues over a hand brushed pearl base layered on a specially-prepared canvas surface. Metallic mediums mixed into my paints create a glistening effect with the changing light, creating a new experience with each viewing.
View the painting in process. Just finished today, November 30, 2012. Special thanks to Tim Catching.
Just wrapping up Nirvana. She’s signed and ready to hang. I’ll look forward to an unveiling soon. Meanwhile, watch my site for the video and Blog post. Cheers!
Nick at only 8 years old is suffering from Neuroblastoma, a life threatening cancer. Raffle tickets will be available starting tomorrow for “Courage”. All proceeds go to Nick. Thanks for your support.
I’m in the studio this evening painting “Courage” – an abstract I created for a benefit tomorrow evening at En Fuego Cigar Lounge to benefit Nicholas.
What a fantastic weekend in Las Vegas! I wrapped up Nirvana, enjoyed a strung out sessions, and drove a gorgeous Lambo.
Black Friday 2012 – enjoying a fantastic day in the studio. Hair is one of my favorite things to paint, and Nirvana is no exception. She has miles of hair painted one strand at a time. I still am quite a ways to go with her. So, back to the easel for me — after all, they don’t paint themselves.
It’s always a great day when I can create in the studio and enjoy fantastic live music at the same time. My buddy Tim is a hugely talented writer, singer and musician so I’m always honored when he stops by with a guitar. Today was one of those days. He jammed. I painted. Always a great vibe.
