Loose Ends

Back to basics.

I finally got off my procrastinating buttocks and finished a couple of paintings that have been sitting, waiting to be completed since before I got sick. One of them is the last of the popular Skelecrows©:

Murderwall

The other one is a moth I've been working on for the insect series:

Hyles-lineata

The last piece I worked on was fresh on the canvas, from a photograph I took. I turned my canvas to see my computer monitor. I stayed about 10 feet away so the details would be a little lost:

Here's the photograph I took it from:

It's not exactly a verbatim landscape. I was looking for something even more elemental, actually. I added more details than I planned to. Actually had to make myself stop. I also left out the buildings and the sidewalk to lessen the human presence in the image. Futile to a certain degree as the park itself is man-made.

New Painting

Not sleeping can have its benefits. Unfortunately it wiped me out a bit. Not too bad though. This is part of a series of small, inexpensive paintings I've wanted to tackle for a long time.












I have also been planning to make my stamp-like logo an actual stamp for a while. Since it's a little Asian looking to begin with, I figured it would add to that vibe. Pretty happy with the results.
