VIincent Van Gogh Self Portrait.

 I took this photo Friday night when I went to see the Vincent Van Gogh self portrait at my favorite museum the Norton Simon. The portrait is on loan from the Washington Gallery Of Art. I was speechless standing right in front of theVan Gogh self portrait.. I just stood there for a very long while mesmerized.  I am a huge Van Gogh fan. This self portrait is so beautiful.  I know what it takes to paint a self portrait. For me it's one of the most difficult because you are conveying something of yourself that you want the viewers to know. Self portraits are by far my favorite type of painting to look at.

Another piece has drawn to a close,  Above is featured my latest commission.  This painting is more intimate than the original because of its closer and simpler arrangement. It was a lot of fun to work on and I think it came out very elegantly. This work was commissioned. The idea for the pose was a mix between capturing the colors and style from Rossetti's  "Proserpine" and my own incorporation of the beautiful woman who commissioned the painting.  "Proserpine" by Rossetti has always been her favorite. Check my earlier posts it you want to see the different stages of this commission.

Communion With The Sun

acrylic on canvas 24x24 ~2004

I found this photo of a painting I did in 2004. I was really enjoying my work with acrylics at that time. It is very free and easy. I like the combination of colors created when the water mixes on the canvas. I wish I still had this one.

The Laughing Boy -

A painting by Frans Hals.

I really like the way he left his strokes very loose and spontaneous. I love the way he captured the spirit of the little boy and did not try to pretty him up.

I've been busy with some portraiture commissions. It's been great getting to know the people I'm painting and becoming part of their lives, if only for a while. It's been very enlightening to meet so many diverse people.

It's been a great year, I hope yours has been great too. Here's to an even brighter future!

LUCAS

Oil on art panel

This is a contemporary portrait commission I just finished. 

I've been very busy this summer. I haven't had much time for the Internet. I have been working on 6 commissioned portraits and am about to add one more. I have finished 4 of them. Also I have been working on my photography and plan to buy a new Nikon, I'm thinking about opening up a photography studio with a friend of mine as a side business. Maybe I will have some time after my commissions are finished. I want to specialize in fine art photography along the lines of Edward Steichen. I have many great ideas for unusual  portraits and lighting. The portrait above is one I took of a very dear friend of mine, it is an example of the style of photography I enjoy creating.

Here is the beginning of an almost life size painting of Jesus. It will be his entire body, after he is beaten and crowned with thorns. He will be slumping and you will see the crown of thorns, the wounds on his face and body and his cloak will be cardinal red. I've photographed the entire piece but don't want to give it all away yet. So here is part of the torso and legs. Again this is the beginning stage, just to get the basics down. Also my "Leper" is coming along very well, I'm very pleased with it. I have a few more details to add and then I will be done, hopefully by the end of June.
