Old Rusty Bus

I recently complete this painting last week. I was inspired by old and rusty surfaces I found at a local salvage yard by my house. I was like a child running around looking at great things to paint. This painting is 16" x 20".

This is my second painting in my new series coming.

Lantern Still Life Painting

This painting is available. If you are interested please email at viciniart@hotmail.com.

My wife and I went to an estate sale this past Summer. We found some really cool stuff. In the corner of the garage of this old house in a suburb outside of Detroit, I found this old lantern between some studs. The estate planner didn't even know it was available - I bought it for a few bucks. I thought it would make for a neat still life. The only problem was that when I bagged it up and put it make car, it leaked kerosene. It stunk up the whole car. Heavy price for a $2.00 lantern.

Big Stump Still Life Painting

A few weeks back, Elliott Fouts forwarded me an email from Paul Thoren of the 1851 Gallery in California and wanted to know if I would be interested in painting a still life using the label that you see. I agreed and painting this for him.

Oil on canvas.


BTW - working on a new series. Very different. Trying to find a future home for my new series.

Glass with Strawberries and Grapes II

This painting was completed at the same time that that my other glass painting (prior posting) was completed. This painting is painted on panel as well.

I purchased some new panels from Blicks (great suggestion from two fantastic astist Jeliane and M Collier). I will give it a try on a smaller scale.

This painting is 12" x 12".

Glass with Strawberries and Grapes I

This is my fifth painting on panel (masonite). I really enjoy the amount of detail you can paint with on masonite. It has been fun but challenging. If it wasn't for M. Collier and Jelaine Faunce, I would still be cussing my way through the painting process. M Collier gave me some great advice on how to prepare the surface and Jelaine gave me some tips on where to get prepared panels (M also provided some locations as well).

I have another still life that is almost ready. I sort of started two paintings at the same time. This way I can leave one panel dry while working on the other.

Space Man without a Home

I recently was commissioned to paint several toy paintings for a client. After completing the paintings I was told there were some personal issues with the client that prevented her from paying me. I rarely do many commission work and when I do I always go into it with a bit of caution.

Whatever the case, this painting and two others are now without a home. They are sort of left out in space....

Happy Easter everyone.

SOLD
