I really like that last one, Koan. 'Arabesque' came to mind as a title. Heaven knows why. It's a gothic fantasy. Maybe because the planes are somehow dancing.

I'm in England. Just the mailing fee would be a killer.

They are stretched canvas so they don't roll up.

That one is called "Cathedral"

I figured it's better to be simple than try to outdo the painting with its name. :wah:

koan · Post by **koan** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 11:53 pm

That one is 20x30 and called Regent St.

It's a really cool street in London. But the clay dude isn't really there.

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 4:47 am

I'm really impressed, Koan. I hope to see more.

I love this painting, it's really good. I like the simple colouring and geometry of it. Straight lines are never easy but you did it kiddo. Well done

koan · Post by **koan** » Thu Mar 15, 2007 12:13 pm

Thanks, Uncle K. (and RG)

There is a really neat trick that I learned as a kid that helped me "map out" the last pic. If you take a photo or drawing that you want to copy and draw a grid over it then you could even number the grid pieces and cut them out then draw them in any order, but into the proper boxes and you'll get a near exact copy of the picture. I marked a grid on the photo then a matching grid on the larger canvas and transfered all the lines over.

Hope that makes sense.

Every time I do a new painting it becomes my favourite.

Just finished this one. The Roman Baths.

How long in hours does it take to complete a piece? That is a great piece :-6

koan · Post by **koan** » Wed Mar 21, 2007 2:47 pm

About 30 hours

Another good one. Keep 'em coming

koan · Post by **koan** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:35 am

I'm beat.

Sometimes when I finish a painting it feels like I haven't slept in a week. Argh!

I've got the next one picked out I'm just having trouble picking up the brush.

koan · Post by **koan** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 9:21 pm

New painting.

Called Christ Church

Nice perspective. Like your style.

Dang, Koan....I am seriously impressed. I mean that. That's just gorgeous. The color is great.

Those are beautiful, you're very talented.

Almost done a new painting. It's been the trickiest so far. Lots of detail.

Been busy packing to move again soon too so that's why I'm not posting as much lately.

Back to our regular program soon.

I'm doing a new thing now. This is still acrylic but it's on 400g paper so it frames easily. I'm going to do 50 different paintings at 12"x 9"

OK ...I am very jealous. I've always wanted to be artistic and that just doesn't shine in me. Nice drawing Koan!!!
