Devil May Care
22x28, oils on canvas

This piece taught me that it is verrrry difficult to paint straight lines with oils. The piece was an interpretation of change and movement of someone either breaking away from the their urban landscape, or embracing it, I can’t decide. Did I mention it’s verrrry difficult to paint straight lines with oils?

Kudos on the lines... Do you know of/enjoy the work of Richard Estes?

Love showing this kind of work to students and then telling them that it isn't a photograph - Blows their minds - and encourages them to try to control their paint.

Great work!

how did you do all the symmetry?

Yeah I went looking for your Richard Estes suggestion - I was already familar with his work, if not the name, but he is amazing! I would not compare myself yet. Maybe in 25 years and with lots of spinach.

Do stencils help for drawing straight lines? I really like the dynamism and the gesture of the character.

We don't love "because", but "despite".

This is why there is no such thing as perfect. A flawless beauty would be blank without any appeal nor character. Its scars are what defines it and what inspires emotion... from that moment, it becomes art.

I love the use of colours and angles in this so much.

It is a certifiable fact that everything good in life is either illegal, amoral or fattening.

This is such a powerful painting. Even though falling, there's such strength in his pose. I love the colours and how the strict background interacts with the flowing movement of the falling man.
