I used the trowel in the blue areas of this, to get a textured effect like in the two prior posts. I think I need to change the upper left somehow but I'm not sure how to do it yet. Looks like a couple of long nights in the studio are ahead of me. Oh!

And I really like the outcomes that I have been getting. My friend from back home, said that symmetrical imagery is much more appealing to the eye, and it must be because I have been getting a lot of positive feedback from people.

Over Thanksgiving break my dad gave me a trowel which he uses to pattern plaster or grout or whatever, I find it particularly useful though in making cross hatching marks in thicker paint. So essentially I am applying with a palette knife then going over the top with this spiky <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lookin</span> trowel thing and it gives this awesome textured look to the paint. I really like how it picks up light, and the rigidity it gives the objects within the painting. I've been using it on all my most recent work, which I should post soon, but ya I'm really liking the effects.<br /><br />The top image is a section of the painting that I photographed then reflected using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">photoshop</span> to create a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">rorshack</span> (spelling?) type effect. I got this idea from my friend Dave back home, who photographs his prints to create these digital prints on the computer, which can be easily replicated. I like the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">symmetrical</span> nature of this type of image making and I think I will start a series of my own, to further experiment with the forms that appear on my canvases.<br /></div>Brian J.

It's a neutral gray, pushed more to the warm side with cadmium red and burnt sienna. I was hesitant at first to introduce a warmer color but I like how it is interacting with the blues and violets. I have yet to effectively use my palette knife for this painting. After a couple of failed attempt today, I'm considering using other flat edged objects to apply the paint with, such as a credit card. Just something wider than my palette knife. After a recent visit to some of my professor's studios I find myself wanting to experiment with other forms of application in my painting. This is kind of open ended, and I'm open to suggestions if you have any. But ya, thats all for now. It is really late and I went out tonight, so I think it might be bedtime.

Obviously I continued with the abstraction, moving it into the other set of still life objects. I really like how this one is coming together. After I finish with this layer of the dark blue, I'm going to try to add a more neutral colors to accentuate to vivid colors I already have. I feel like with more neutral tones in the pictorial field my brighter colors will have more of a pop to them. Thats the goal at least. Well, if no body else likes this crap, at least Pat does.

This is probably my favorite part of these paintings, when I get to go nuts on the still life objects I've created. I start off by blocking everything, so to speak, with a dark color. Here I've chosen to use a dark blue, comprised of raw umber and pthalo blue. I really like the combination of the green blue and violet, but the red in the background is starting to clash. I think those areas will eventually be covered up when I finish painting this layer. I've been trying to use thinner layers of paint recently both in my figural work and here in this abstracted still life series. I think today I was fairly successful, letting the lights of the background show through the blue, in the blocky forms on the left side, of the top painting. More to come on that painting within the week...</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The bottom painting, I just recently started, and once again I'm trying to use my palette knife a lot. I'm also trying to be more reductive in my process. In the lighter brown areas I wiped the paint away when it was still wet to create forms. It's a learning process. I added in the halo there for a vague religious reference. I'm personally not very religious, I just like the implications that a halo has. We'll see where this one goes, but I like it so far.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Well thats all for now, I think that pretty much brings us up to date on all my work. I'll be posting more after I paint more, hopefully by the end of the week. To anyone who might actually be looking at my blog, post comments, let me know what you think. I love criticism. </div>Brian J.

I try to work with a model whenever I can because it is good practice. I've bee trying to use more color in my figural renderings, and its hard but I think everything is working out OK so far. I just started using a new glaze for the shadows that i like a lot (thanks Sue) and I think it will really help the finished product. The painting on the left is more abstract. I used palette knife for the majority of the paint application. There are references to figures in the lower half, which got mixed reviews during my critique. I like them though, i like the implied depth they bring to the painting, which otherwise comes off as quite flat. This painting is playing with the perspective of the viewer similar to my other ones, however, it uses completely different means to accomplish that task. I liked using the palette knife though, and I plan to incorporate that thick paint application in my other work. Anyway, thats all for now, more to come soon.</span></b></div>Brian J.

This is a much larger canvas and I'm working with a lot more objects than in my prior work.

So, these are three paintings out of my latest series. I start off by painting a still life, (this one consisting of one cup per painting) then I create a fractured urban looking environment over the top of that still life. This creates a skewed sense of scale, not allowing the viewer to establish his/herself within a recognizable area. The shapes that are subsequently created in these compositions both recede and pop out at the viewer depending on how you look at it. I find these paintings to be quite playful, and entertaining. </div>Brian J.
