The Crawling Eye: Horehead Nebula, Finished
http://careycareyquitecontrary.blogspot.com/2010/02/horehead-nebula-finished.html
Oil paintings by me. :). Sunday, February 07, 2010. Horehead Nebula, Finished. I have declared this painting finished.and done in just about a week, too, I can hardly believe it. :) I sort of want to continue fiddling with it, but I believe it is time to move on (mostly it just bothers me how much of the linen texture I can see up close, since the paint layers are so very thin). You are great with horses- even the spacey ones! Hey Chica you are you? We miss you on the Oily Rag! Links to my other stuff.

The Crawling Eye: January 2010
http://careycareyquitecontrary.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Oil paintings by me. :). Saturday, January 30, 2010. I am in a spacey mood. :) With the upcoming release of Star Trek Online, I have been inspired to look at some of the pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope.talk about beautiful. I can't believe I've never done a space painting before, and I suppose it is high time. So I've started with a small canvas (8x16) of, what else? This makes me want to do a lot more monochrome work.which might help a great deal in various value issues I often struggle with.

The Crawling Eye: Zander the Zorse!
http://careycareyquitecontrary.blogspot.com/2011/07/zander-zorse.html
Oil paintings by me. :). Sunday, July 17, 2011. After a long and involved move, I can now really get back to oil painting. Here is what I have been working on and recently finished. Vine charcoal on my 24x36 canvas. Ink over the charcoal, and then a thin layer of burnt umber. (Scrubbed on thinly, no medium.). This is a zorse who lives at a safari park near where I now live- seeing him at the park was such a great thrill for me, I almost couldn't believe it. :). Great shading. Great work.

The Crawling Eye: March 2009
http://careycareyquitecontrary.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Oil paintings by me. :). Friday, March 13, 2009. The Queen's Bay, 20x24, oil on linen. This is a copy of a portrait of Queen Victoria by Francis Grant. I cropped the image from the original because as you might guess, it was her horse that I was interested in, and wanted to get it as large on the canvas as possible. :) I learned an awful lot painting this. (And yes, I want a horse just like this one! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links to my other stuff. NEW BLOG: Iron Man Does Prague.

The Crawling Eye: Idaho Desert Landscape, Continued
http://careycareyquitecontrary.blogspot.com/2010/09/idaho-desert-landscape-continued.html
Oil paintings by me. :). Friday, September 17, 2010. Idaho Desert Landscape, Continued. I'm afraid I got interrupted in working on this, but I finally got back to it and I think it's getting pretty close now after a couple of days' work. (Colors are better in second picture.). The thing really bugging me was the value contrasts in the hills.today (amongst other work) I scumbled some mid-value paint on them and I like it much better. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
