Ford vs Ferrari Update

More progress on the background. Fiddling with details and subtlety. Movie was good.

Christmas Commission

My niece's husband asked for this commission of his and my niece's kids, Chelsea and Evan. The photo was taken by him a few weeks back. The original photo is a landscape composition but I cropped it into a portrait format which I think makes for a more compelling composition.

Ford vs. Ferarri (Update)

Started on this project again. Hopefully will take shape as I add details and refinements Starting to add little details such as keylines around the number and racing stripes. Beginning the background advertising. Will try to keep a blurred feel, not too much, just subtle.

Christmas Ornaments (Complete)

Here is the entire set of eight for this year! Hopefully they will be enjoyed bu whoever receieves one.

Last Ornament

Completed one last one.

More Christmas Ornaments

Another side complete on the next ornament. Also a snapshot of what I’ve done so far. I calculate that I need to do 8 for gifts and extras for inquiries.

Christmas Ornaments

Painted up a few ornaments with acrylics for this year, trying to stick with a consistent theme of birds. I hope these will be appreciated by whoever receives one.

Ford vs Ferrari

Here is the seed of what I hope will be my next LeMans piece. I'd only done one other depiction of a LeMans car, that being the GT40 1075 of Ickx and Oliver. This one will depict the GT40 MkIV of Gurney and Foyt leading a Ferrari 300P. I'll probably do it as an acrylic on board, maybe a 20" x 15" size.

First Place Award

I am pleased to announce that my piece “Tinnitus” was selected for First Place at the Ontario Shores "Celebrating a Century of Care" Juried Art Show. The jury remark was "A marvellous high realist masterpiece with a unique composition and wonderfully placed figurative element combined with shattered graphic dissonance that masterfully illustrates the chosen theme."

New Tic Tac Painting (Complete)

This one is complete. I will post a high res image once I am able to get a good photo of the piece. 30” x 24”, acrylic on canvas.

A Rose for Sara

It was 29 years ago today that Sara and I were married. Sara passed away on January 30, 2013. This painting was a tribute to Sara. It was taken from a photo that I took of Sara holding Michael as a two year old at Darlington Provincial Park in 1995. I made prints of it and gave one to Sara's parents and brothers. Michael will have the original painting. I added a rose and a bench in an idealistic setting and titled it 'A Rose for Sara'. RIP. 20" x 30" acrylic on board.

1972 VW Camper

1972 VW Camper, taken from my own photo at Autofest 2018 in Oshawa. I liked the little fold up bus for the kids that was beside the camper. 10x8 Acrylic on Canvas.

VW Bus (Update)

Further progress. Should be done tomorrow or Tuesday depending on how busy I get with other duties, lol.

VW Bus (WIP 8x10)

Tic Tacs (Update)

Managed to more or less complete the marble today. Must soften the edges and tone back the hilite in front of it. Little tweaks I'll notice in the next day or so before varnishing. Must get it properly photographed as well. Included a shot of my chaotic work space (in my bedroom). 24" x 18" Acrylic on canvas.
