red faced form

thank you stephanie :) i’m realy not happy with the photo though.

re: mixed media, it’s almost all oils, but the shiny white bits are old cds (mainly from internet companies) and above the eye and around the left hand side of the face are collaged with bits from an old peach tin. some little details were done with a biro and a coloured pencil.

it makes me happy to read how these images were put together..what with. just wonderful! i hope you are continuing to creaTE. it excites me to see what next. thank you. i never read your response to mine til now. not sure how i missed….but did.

my best, mister elbourne.

p.s. yes, it’s hard to see the details…..no shine to jump at you from cds and tin cans. photographing art is another art form….as is framing…..marketing etc etc.

this is great, mixed media is fun, it talks

thanks :) what does it say?

very nice!

thanks :)

Thought I’d pop in and say Hi..seeing you did that for me dan.. thanks

and I have to say that this one is really wonderful..!!!

thankyou :)

Wonderfully evocative. Truly beautiful.

thank you very much paul. thanks for the fav as well :)

Cool piece. It’s very complex…..I’m sure the original is really interesting to look at! I Like the chair a lot…have you ever seen one like that in reality? I’d like to build one!

thanks davis :)

the “chair” is actually supposed to be a tail, but i can totally understand why you saw it as a chair. one of the great things about doing abstracted work is that people see all kinds of stuff in it that you hadn’t intended :)

Hi..nice refreshing style to your work….

thanks alot :)

This has such an intensity to it with the color and form. It is like some form in an embryonic state. Maybe reflecting something in your life when you painted it?

thanks alot moonspiral. i’m kinda fascinated by embrionic shapes, but possibly this is less a representation of part of my life than something to do with the comics that i read as a kid :)

i won’t click the link for comics that you have in your last
comment yet, but i’m guessing there’s a combo of 2
characters from say, The New Mutants might be an
inspiration? even if I’m wrong about the inspiration,
this is a pretty good piece.
of work.

Your imagination is unfettered,,, that’s great! Would like to see what you qould do with black and white. Congratulations on your work..

I love this. It reminds me of something I used to do with my circle template, only yours is a lot stronger in terms of composition. Your choice of colors again is wonderful.

thanks lee :) circles to me seem to be an inherantly powerful shape.

Wonderfull work great use of colour, it looks like an eagle fetus to me,
I love mixed media too : )

this is really amazing – love the look and feel of this.

You have great imagination and talent to match – superb work

Qué interesante! Super Work!

It IS interesting work Dan. Re: your framing query earlier, I imagine you would need to frame this under glass with all those different materials. I would use an inner mount showing a sliver of cream or green, and a lighter coloured exterior mount, but that’s just me! And maybe even a very thin gold frame! I hope that doesn’t sound really awful! Just playing with some ideas!

nice work

an embryo of…? interesting image

Hi Dan, I just had a look at your artwork, it is beautiful, I’m looking forward to see more of your work in the future, this is an immediate fav !
