Stillwell Art

This is a painting I did for my Painting 1 class in college. It is only the third painting I have ever done using Oil paints. I had a lot of fun on this piece and leaned a lot about color mixing and bases... as well as shading and reflections. Overall I was quite pleased with the final piece. It's about 36X24 on the back of a board of Masonite. Took about 28 hours to complete.

This is a diptych painting piece I did based on a collage I made earlier on the Sulphur Springs Theater in Tampa, Fl.  It recently has undergone some renovations and I was intrigued by the new neon lights it was given after many decades of it being stagnant. The new lights gave it a nightlife  it hadn't had since it's earlier days back in the 50's and 60's.

This is an oil painting I did for my Painting 1 class in college. This is the first painting I did where I really let go and got a little wild with my brush-strokes and allowed myself to lay the paint on a bit thick to get some real texture onto the canvas. It is the first attempt at being more expressionistic with my otherwise usually technical art style. I had a lot of fun doing this piece and actually finished it in two days. It's 36X36 Oil on Canvas that I stretched myself.

This is a diptych piece I did for my design class. We were to take an image, blow it up and then duplicate it using a variation of color theory. Mine was a close-up of a Pipe-wrench, sticking with my previous theme of the wrench from other projects. These are each 40X40 and were hand duplicated using acrylic paint. This was the first time I had ever used acrylic paint before.
