Wood Art

Click on photos for larger views.
Photos of more carved wood art paintings I am working on.
I carve highlights into the wood to give the painting a
different look and feel to the art.
These two paintings still have a ways to go before they
are finished. I paint, carve, paint, carve, adding more paint
and carving out bits of lines and other details as I work
on the painting.

Carved Wood

A work in progress.
"Onion Girl Rides on her Red Pigeon".
Acrylic paints on wood.
I carved highlights into the wood to give the painting
a bit more character and a little depth.
In the red tail photo above, you can see the black lines are also carved
into the wood. (Click on the photo for a larger photo.)
The painting is not quite finished; I have some more painting to do
and add some coats of varnish.

Start

Early in the process of painting of five new works on wood.
I carve into the wood details of the art, then add more
layers of acrylic paint.

Mail Me Art Show Photos

My two pieces of art (black arrows) in the Mail Me 2009 art show in London, England.
You can see more photos of the art exhibition here.

Sneak Preview 4

This one is on the easel drying (and upside-down).
I have just sketched in the different parts and putting on first wash.
The size is 120 x 120 cm / 47.2 x 47.2 inches.

Sneak Preview 3

An old piece of wood that I am going to paint a skeleton head guy on it.
Instead of sketching in the character with pencil, I used a wood carving tool.
Notes gouges and scratches in the wood.
Next I will paint it with acrylic paints and add a layer or two of varnish.
Then maybe repeat that process.

Sneak Preview 2

Almost done with this painting - 39.6 x 47.2 inches.
No title yet. It is created with acrylic paints on canvas.
