Lately, I've been fascinated with color harmonies. I haven't posted here in a long while, and figured I would throw down some of the work I've done in the last week or so. It would be awesome to see others put things in this thread as well...anything that you think exhibits great colors... This can be an inspiration thread of sorts, if people are into it.





























Hopefully that will get this party started!

Just surreal... Chunder man, I've missed you around here!

Each one made my jaw drop even more.

It's modern digital impressionism. I love it!
I'll look around for something in this vein but damn, it'll be tough to follow those.

Blastrid! I've been pretty busy the last year or so, haven't had too much time to post, but hopefully that is changing. I'm definitely influenced by the impressionists...to me its just about the only way I can paint things. I have no interest in meticulously rendering something to look realistic - cameras can do that better than I could ever hope. I'm interested in the human response to imagery, the chaotic, fractal, messy, intuitive construction of forms and color...
Thanks for the warm words brother.

TheCow, I'm glad these excretions of mine have pleased you in some way!

stefan, eligal, these were all done with Photoshop CS. I do use watercolor paints from time to time, but you can't beat the flexibility and speed of a computer! Glad you like them.

I try to paint at least a few quick sketches each day, so I'll try to keep updating this thread. In the meantime here are some sattelite photographs of rainforests that are quite beautiful... I feel that this boundless beauty found in nature's compositions can be accessed by everyone in different ways, its just a matter of opening oneself to the message. So often, we cannot see past the square rooms and straight roads and right angles of the houses and cities we live in. To my mind the most satisfying beauty arises from the interconnected fractals and color harmonies found in nature - from the cosmic vistas above us to the to the forest rivers winding to the blood vessel and organ systems within us.

Ahh, rambling about art! It is great!









Onward!

Nice, man. I like the first one a lot... and then the one with the two guys wandering through the brush. There's something very appealing about the balance you get out of that red and that blue...

Then, a few down from there (the one right before the bearded fellow) the composition of that sky is just phenomenal!

It is great to see what you've been working on, man... very inspirational!

Don't be a stranger... :smile:

P.S. Dredg rocks, and I thank you for introducing me to them this past year when we were chatting on AIM!

Jacques, thank you for the comments. I'm glad you noticed the balance of those two figures...its something I'v been thinking a lot about - how to create balance with color proportions. Subtle ratios of complementary colors is the key, again nature is the teacher - delicately tinted yellow-orange clouds against a deep blue sky, small brilliant notes of deep red on the dark green holly bush, piercing yellow light of stars against the infinite violet of a night sky. The eye craves a balance of color and nature provides it, every moment of the day presents new color schemes to learn from....

Here are few more quick ones I just did:

3 more attempts to summon color magic:







"It is a question of saying the thing that a person has to say. A man should not care whether the thing he wishes to express is art or not, whether it is a picture or not, he should only care that it is a statement of what is worthy to put into permanent expression." - Robert Henri

Chunder, those are absolutely amazing. I think I'm in love with your work. I'm trying to decide which one of those to use as my desktop background at the moment.

You're in washington too, huh? =]

fung_us_among_us, glad you like some of them. I paint these with a 4x5 wacom graphire tablet. One of these days I'll get a bigger tablet and I'll finally be able to get some big fat expressive marks going - as it is this tiny tablet limits what kind and how fast I can make marks.

jonnywax, your love is much appreciated. I produce these primarily out of a need to express the colors and forms I have inside me, but a large part of the existence of a piece of art is inciting feelings inside others - and I am humbled and honored to be a part of that - thank you. I am indeed residing in the beautiful state of washington...I love the skies here, even the grayest days are sublime!

Still busy for the forseeable future, but here are a couple quickies I made today:





"Nature contains the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music. But the artist is born to pick and choose... that the result may be beautiful ? as the musician gathers his notes, and forms his chords, until he brings forth from chaos glorious harmony... " -James Abbot McNeill Whistler

Your work certainly does have a very Washingtonesque feel to it. It reminds me of looking out towards the Olympics here in Seattle (when I can actually see them).

Keep it up.

Also, if you would, I'd love to see your take on the middle of the ocean. :wink:

Your shit is ALMOST inspiring me to pick up a pencil again. :smile:

Also, I apologize if you already answered this, but what program(s) are you using with that tablet? It looks so painted.. if you're doing that shit in Photoshop, I want to chat with you about how you make it look the way you do. :smile:

wow... do you have a portfolio website?
Any chance of higher-res stuff?
I'd love for one of these to be my background to, but they're too small...


magnificent.
