Plastic Red Dog With Blue Glass Marble

Acrylic on linen on MDF
$old
This was another painting for the Kina show. I painted it with acrylics so it would dry in time. I havn't used acrylics for many years and I found it quite strange, but I thought the plastic medium would suit a plastic object. If nothing else, it made me appreciate the qualities and characteristics of oil paint more. I experimented using different mediums to try and give it some texture and phisical quality to the paint.

Small Pink Plastic Poodle With Glass Marble

Oil on linen on MDF
This painting is for an exhibition at New Plymouth's Kina Gallery featuring dogs. I would have liked to have painted my dog Fergus, but he refuses to sit still long enough in one pose!
The show opens tonight at 5:30 for anyone living in New Plymouth. Here's the invite:

This was an eclectic but tight arrangement of objects on my shelf that appealed to me. It has a Morandi feel about it the way the objects are tightly clustered along the horizontal, and is lit from underneath. I liked the Pluto character figurine perched on the matchbox against the red of the coffee mug. I tryed to keep the painting loose and lively.
I've also updated my new blog "Another Day". I must admit to being a bit dissapointed by the lack of reaction to it. I've tryed to make it interesting, and I've tryed my hardest to promote it, but it has had very few visits and little feedback or comments. It's very easy for me to feel Eyeorish... If anyone has any positive suggestions on how I can improve it to make it more interesting please let me know!

I loved marbles as a child and would gaze into them for hours.. I think for me they represented a perfect little spherical world. It's not like that really is it?

Lost Marbles
A bit of an odd assortment. I've been struggling a bit with the watercolour medium and I'm finding it a bit unnerving, and feeling a bit insecure about learning as I go whilst maintaining my postings here. But I've come to the conclusion that that is partly what the philosophy of Daily Painting Blogging is about.

Watercolour on Saunders Paper
An aspect of watercolour is you've got to decide where the white highlights go from the outset. This is pretty much the exact reverse of oil painting where the final highlights are put in towards the end. I got some frisket masking medium to try out. The idea is you paint this rubbery stuff where you want the paper to stay white and peel it off at the end. I tryed it on the marble but wasnt at all happy with it and ended up resorting to using an opaque white, effectively changing the painting to more of a guache style. This painting itself was painted on the verso of this other aborted attempt. Just little slightly laboured studys. So if anyone wants to purchase this piece of paper, you can show it either way around, but one way or another you're going to lose some of your marbles...

Time lapsed painting demos have become increasingly popular on sites such as YouTube, and a few people have asked if I would consider making one. So here is my first rather crude attempt. I was probably foolish to try such a small painting and it felt rather strange and unnatural with an "eye" looking over my shoulder. The painting took about an hour and the video is edited down to 04:40
