'Untitled...3'

Here's the first tiny painting that will be part of a 3 part series called 'Untitled...1..2..3'.. They will all include the merged global currency note I created earlier for a flyer a lil while back....

Oil on Canvas Board
Size: 3.4" x 3.1"
1st of three part series
Note* this is an edited version 
(red text has been removed from the money, after I found out it meant 'sample' in japanese... :) )



The concept is intended to highlight the current inherently flawed system which profits and inevitably encourages detrimental effects to our environment and health... (Proper statement to be added soon)
Thanks for visiting!.. :)

When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Colour Dry Brush Portrait


Was fortunate to get a chance to dry brush a portrait for a dear friend, and this time in colour!.... :)


'Renu'
Dry Brushed Oil Paint on Fabriano Watercolour Paper
Size: 11.3 Inches x 15 Inches
note* the gray background is not part of the piece


This would be my first coloured dry brush portrait, the second in the dry brush technique... It took me a little over a week and a half to complete however (but it sure was a blast)
Igor Kazarin (my mentor as far as I'm concerned when it comes to Dry Brush Portraiture) finishes a piece in only 6 hours!... One can't rush a portrait though, so I got lots of practice to go to get that fast ay!....

Plan on a smaller colour dry brush portrait soon, which will also have a step by step WIP included of it on my Materializing Inspiration blog!!

Thats all for now though folks,..
 Thanks for Visiting !... :)
