Twists and Turns

So, every once in a while you get a kick in the pants as an artist. My kick came when a few days ago I discovered the artwork of painter Terry Gilecki. http://www.artwanted.com/artist.cfm?artid=15002

This amazing artist shares my affinity for Koi and the Koi Pond. I have created quite a few mini illustrations of my favorite subject, but when I looked at Terry's work I realized how much further I could push myself.

"Aspen"

2.5 x 3.5 inches.

This is the first piece I have created after seeing Terry's koi paintings. I really think I have pushed myself on this compared to my previous work. More depth, more light, and I just love how it turned out. I cant wait to get to work on the next one.

# 3

"Pop Fallen Leaves"
36x60 inches.
Sold.

The second in the Pop series and the third of the 14 large paintings I am doing this year.

I am quite happy with this painting. I dont have the same uncertainties with this one as I did with the Dandelions. I might just be getting into a groove.
