Very interesting.

I'll watch and see what kind of stuff sells.

She has also had a couple of people who have gone back to her and asked her to do some pic's for them.

I really like that last one, Koan. 'Arabesque' came to mind as a title. Heaven knows why. It's a gothic fantasy. Maybe because the planes are somehow dancing.

I'm in England. Just the mailing fee would be a killer.

They are stretched canvas so they don't roll up.

That one is called "Cathedral"

I figured it's better to be simple than try to outdo the painting with its name. :wah:

That one is 20x30 and called Regent St.

It's a really cool street in London. But the clay dude isn't really there.

I'm really impressed, Koan. I hope to see more.

I love this painting, it's really good. I like the simple colouring and geometry of it. Straight lines are never easy but you did it kiddo. Well done

Thanks, Uncle K. (and RG)

There is a really neat trick that I learned as a kid that helped me "map out" the last pic. If you take a photo or drawing that you want to copy and draw a grid over it then you could even number the grid pieces and cut them out then draw them in any order, but into the proper boxes and you'll get a near exact copy of the picture. I marked a grid on the photo then a matching grid on the larger canvas and transfered all the lines over.

Hope that makes sense.

Every time I do a new painting it becomes my favourite.

Just finished this one. The Roman Baths.

How long in hours does it take to complete a piece? That is a great piece :-6

About 30 hours

that is really good koan.....:-6 you are very talented

Another good one. Keep 'em coming

I'm beat.

Sometimes when I finish a painting it feels like I haven't slept in a week. Argh!

I've got the next one picked out I'm just having trouble picking up the brush.

New painting.

Called Christ Church

Nice perspective. Like your style.

Dang, Koan....I am seriously impressed. I mean that. That's just gorgeous. The color is great.

Those are beautiful, you're very talented.

Almost done a new painting. It's been the trickiest so far. Lots of detail.

Been busy packing to move again soon too so that's why I'm not posting as much lately.

Back to our regular program soon.

Museum of Natural History.

I think that's the best so far. There's a lot going on from a perspective point of view. :yh_clap

It's been awhile since my last painting.

This is the one I'm working on right now.

i just love it its romantic with an edge to it

I'm doing a new thing now. This is still acrylic but it's on 400g paper so it frames easily. I'm going to do 50 different paintings at 12"x 9"

Impressive!

Here's a picture I drew awhile ago. I'm hoping to turn it into a painting soon.


Hey. you're good!! But then, you are a Virgo.

Congratulations, that seems to have worked. It's not at all the same but it's still you.

OK ...I am very jealous. I've always wanted to be artistic and that just doesn't shine in me. Nice drawing Koan!!!
