Three fold prayer-edited

Alright so after testing out the 195gms paper I find myself un-impressed.

So I’ve decided to re-do the series on the same paper I did the “Life Simplified” series on.

Same size and everything so instead of being 9″x12″ they’ll be 11″x15″ approx.

I’ve also changed the last image to something more suitable.

The series will be based on the three fold concept of prayer presented in Luke 11: 1-13.

Persistence, Promise, Provision

I’ll update once I’ve added the color.

Cheers,

A

Happened, Going to Happen, Happening

Lots seems to be happening around here even though I sometimes fail to realize it.

Here’s a look at what’s happened, going to happen and happening.

Happened-My art showcase at Edmonton Jam Space finished Oct 4th so I picked up my paintings from Jonny on the weekend. Things have picked up for him too so he hasn’t had a chance to set up the next artist for display. Those walls are going to look some bare. He offered to have me back sometime so I may set something up for the future. I did however leave him with a “Commission Flier” to stick up in case anyone wants their old guitar made over into art.

Going to HappenNov 15th, 2008: Shop in the Fort Trade show (I’ve already mentioned this one)

*New*-I have a gallery showing booked at the Dow Centennial Center’s Gallery for the whole month of February 2010. Sure it’s a ways off but hey it gives me LOTS of time to create new pieces and have old ones framed. Either way exciting.

Happening-I currently have 2 abstract paintings, 2 new watercolor series, commissions, and some abstract recycled jewelry on the go. Fun Stuff:

One of the abstract paintings you’ve already had a glimpse at and the other one I’m keeping until it’s finished.

I will give you a peek at one of the new watercolor series I’m working on.

It’s a three piece series titled: “Three Fold Prayer” and will be done in the same style as all my other watercolor pieces such as “Life Simplified”.

Here are the outline drawings and I’ll be adding the watercolor today with the hopes of starting the text on at least one of the pieces. Each piece is 9” x 12” on 195gms weight cotton acid free watercolor paper.

Back to work.

Cheers,

A

Guitar Commission-Part Three the conclusion

Well, the guitar commission is finally finished and delivered to the customer.

I’m still not quite sure if I like it with or without the hands better,

but it doesn’t matter since the customer is happy with it.

Just for fun, here’s a look at the progress again:

1-acoustic guitar

2-Sanded and primed

3-background roughed out

4-background details added

5-addition of the hands

6-hand details

7-re-assembled, signed and sealed. Only thing missing are the strings.

Now it’s going to live happily ever after mounted on a wall for display.

If you’d like to commission a used or broken instrument for display,  or any other artwork

email me at themilkeway@gmail.com

Oh and I’ve added a commission gallery where I’ll be putting all the artwork that I receive as commissions.

Cheers for now!

Guitar Commission-Part 2 and 1/2

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have finished the guitar.

It is currently signed and sealed but yet to be delivered.

I’ll be delivering the finished piece to by customer tomorrow at which point I will post the completed photo’s.

I would have finished sooner but our car was stolen Friday which needless to say, had an adverse effect on my creativity level.

With this commission finished I can focus my energies into creating things for the November trade show.

I’m planning on having an assortment of prints for sale, a bit of photography and of course some original artwork.

Oh and the business cards are all finished and printed looking quite artsy if I do say so myself 😉

Well I guess that’s it for now.

Cheers/G-night
