My Homage to Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

I had to respond to an art chalange.  It was to create a poster in the style of Lautrec. It was a fun chalange and this was the result.  I wish I had more time to do it.  Acrylic on paper.  

I may revisit this one and do it better.  

 

White Flowers on a Blue Background Acrylic Painting

Sketchbook painting.  I offten like to paint in a sketchbook, I practice methods for my next paintings.  Had some fun with this one.  

 

Two Sunflowers oil painting.

Spring is almost here, it is getting warmer.  This inspired me to paint two sunflowers. I painted them on canvas pad.  The paint is rather thick in areas. I enjoyed this stilllife quite a bit. 

 

Woman Oil Painting

I was sketching on my oil canvas pad and did this painting. I used blue, black, and white oil paint.  I painted the background hot pink with acrylic paint.  I belive it is 12" x 9".  I have been sick for a few weeks and did this as a warm up.  There are a few more warm up paintings, not sure if I will post them.

I hope I start painting more regular now.  Work is becoming busy and time is valuable.

 

A.I. Assimilated Art Painting

I have seen many jobs that were replaced by computers during my life.  If someone told me twenty years ago that artists would be replaced by computers, I would have laughed.  Well here it is, it is becoming more of a problem every day.  The Digital Rembrants are everywhere.  Typing a few phrases into a computer and art is generated for you.    

What will be left in twenty years for people to do?  I've lived my life and grew up computer free and I am very thankful. I really can't comprehend a life without human creativity, flaws, mistakes, and accidental discoveries.  When will we be obsolete ?  

P.S. - I don't care about spelling errors.  I am Human !!!!

 

Glass of Beer Oil Painting

I painted this Saturday Evening.  I had a blank canvas so I painted this.  I really enjoy painting with oils, they are very vibrant. I have another blank canvas but no ideas.  Hope to paint soon.
