The progress I've made after a roughly four hour painting session.
#wip #art #acrylicpainting

Photo of a small canvas with a partially done firetruck painting. The background has solid colors and the firetruck has the red and red and yellow bumper painted in but is otherwise unpainted

The same small painting but now the grass in the background is darker and more detailed. The firetruck now has the white and silver filled in on the truck and the tires have been added. The firefighters sitting inside the truck have been painted in and are almost finished.

Background done. Commence details...

#wip #artist #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #petportrait

Work-in-progress acrylic portrait of a black and tan dog with a joyful expression, mouth open and tongue slightly visible. The painting rests on a wooden table surrounded by Liquitex Basics paint tubes, a brush, and a paint-stained cloth on the artist’s lap. The dog’s fur is rendered with lifelike texture and warmth, capturing a moment of affectionate presence in progress.

This tends to be people's favorite piece of mine when they come over. I'm not sure why and no one has really been able to give me an answer beyond they like it. I like that. I hope you like it.

Tarnished

painted by ME!
Acrylic on Canvas, 24 x 36

#liberty #resist #nokings #america #artist #pdx #pdxartist #acrylicpainting #wip #abolishice #politicalart #art

A dramatic, intense painting of the Statue of Liberty on a canvas set on an easel. The portrait focuses on her head, crown, and torch-holding arm, rendered in thick brushstrokes primarily using shades of brown, white, and a shimmering metallic gold background. Her face is pale with shadowed, intense eyes and a resolute expression. The painting's style is dynamic and raw, contrasting the traditional figure with a modern, emotionally charged look.

making a new and larger mess

but first must be patient
and watch paint dry

#acrylicpainting #art #abstractart #painting #abstractpainting

Close-up view of wet acrylic paint on a couple square inches of gessoed cotton canvas. The colors are oversaturated, showing the woven fibers of the canvas in sharp relief against thick globs of paint drawn into spiral shapes. Red, green, yellow, and blue splotches and swirls of color are visible.
