BESPOKE ART & DESIGN
Just days before Christmas, it’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate not only the shortest day and longest night of the year but also to take a moment to reflect deeply on my journey as both a human being and an artist. This time of year, filled with stillness and introspection, inspires me to look back on my experiences, lessons learned, and the personal growth I have experienced over the years.
Ahhh, Spring is in the air. I was doing a little Spring organizing in the studio and recently unwrapped my 2005 painting, EQUINOX, celebrating a change of seasons, from Winter to Spring.
I recently pulled a couple of paintings from my archive to share with someone with a similar taste for figurative artwork and fine art nudes. I haven’t seen the paintings I unboxed in years, so witnessing them with fresh eyes was nice — the kind of nice that required a fresh coffee and a little time to sit and enjoy some art I created several years ago. One of my recently unboxed paintings, in particular, is a huge favorite of mine.
Two years after photographing my model/muse for my latest metal fine art nude, the artwork is now finished and ready for my collector’s home.
I painted EQUINOX, my life-size fine art nude (above), on canvas 18 years ago, inspired by the change of seasons and the forthcoming winter. EQUINOX is a follow-piece to SOLSTICE, which I painted in 2004 to capture the essence and warmth of the Summer Solstice.
My newest original life-size metal fine art nude is inspired by a beautiful muse and the timeless Fibonacci Sequence. ETERNAL’s creation is an explorative journey that forever changes my metal art creations going forward.
Few people know that my INDIAN SUMMER motorcycle painting experienced a colossal disaster halfway through creating it. So did BACKDRAFT, one of my better-known life-size fine art nudes.
It’s been a while since I posted anything about my current artwork on the easel. ETERNAL, my lifesize metal fine art nude that I started over a year ago, has quite a story, and she’s not even finished.
Thank You, Model Society I am honored to start the New Year as a featured artist in the Models Citizens 2023 gallery. their first curated gallery for the year.
Twenty-twelve was a prolific year for me. Over that year, I created a stainless steel metal wall art (Ascension) and painted four canvas life-size and more giant fine art nudes, including; Truth, Ascendant, Jubilee, Premier, and Nirvana, and wrapped it up with a series of abstract artworks. Please read my post from 2012 for the complete list.
Creating a Video Archive page has been on my To-Do list for some time. With all the changes happening with YouTube and action to limit my videos to account holders only, I figured now was the time to fix that mess.
Inspired by my muse’s elegant lines and the golden ratio, this creation is the first of a new series of original life-size contemporary metal art nudes created by scratch.
