Original?

This one turned out pretty well. I took a couple photos at stages before completion. The first is after applying blue and brown. The second photo is after adding green and red the next day. The final is after applying grey.
The problem with this painting is that I tried to replicate a painting by a different artist. It looks quite different. But is it different enough not to piss the other artist off? Is it plagiarism? I'm not going to upload it to istock and then fret about getting busted.
The nice thing about doing homages is that I can practice technique, the how without really bothering to think what to paint.

Got A Plan!

These paintings are more representational. I like each of them. Maybe I'd frame them in a square frame too.


I've been thinking of what kind of photography and painting is realistic while spending quality time with the family. Sticking with my istock big sellers; food and painting is the way to go. Pretty girls don't sell and require way more photoshop. haha!
