Casein Portrait

AVAILABLE

Here is a painting I started a couple years ago.  Decided I wanted to finish it and free up a board it was attached too.  I wanted to try casein paint so who better to experiment on than me.  I decided to add some woodland art elements based off of Norval Morrisseau and some West Coast Haida art along with some of my own imagery.  I thought the crow to be a interesting element as if it were trying to tell me something.  The painting measures 30" x 16" and painting on watercolour paper.

The Bear Keeper

AVAILABLE

18" x 14" Acrylic Painting. I call it the Bear Keeper. It's based off my nephew's dad Perry who graciously posed for me last summer. Originally this was a painting of a boat but felt the painting was not strong enough with regards to composition so I decided to paint a warrior of days gone by, however he alone was not enough to cover the boat, so i decided he needed some company. Really not the way i would plan a painting but it was an interesting process.
