Steampunk Cat daddy

One of my latest paintings called " Steampunk Cat daddy". He loves to drink his coffee or tea really slow but it gets cold so he added a propane tank to keep it hot. The "treat-o-matic" is for afternoon treats. It always helps to have a little windup on the hat to help think better.

New Paintings for Hidden Expedition: Smithsonian Hope Diamond

These are a few of the paintings I designed and painted for the new Hidden Expedition: Smithsonian Hope Diamond game.

My latest Cat Painting

This is called "Tuna Dreams" oil on board. It was inspired by watching how my cats look so comfortable sleeping. They know how to relax. It's something we all could learn more of these days.

Art Love,

Just Be

Just finished a new painting from my cool cat series called "Just Be".



The T.V. tells you to be this way.
People tell you to be that way.
Groups tell you to be their way.
Each one of us is unique.
No two are alike.
So why spend time being someone
you're not, nor really want to be?
Just be yourself.
Just be.

art love,
Jeff

Touch the Sky

Just finished a new Digital Painting called "Touch the Sky". Painting in photoshop with a lot of custom brushes.
"Touch the Sky"
Breaking the plane to see heaven,
Pushing through obstacles to see beyond,
if yet for a moment to see a glimpse of what could be.
Reaching beyond the normal flow of the day to touch life.
Breakthrough.

art love,
Jeff

Tuna Dreams painting

This is one of my latest paintings in progress. Each stage has it's own fun and life cycle. The drawing started as a fun idea as I watched my cats do what they love to do most which is sleep. The idea of learning how to rest. After I finished the pencil drawing then I created value thumbnails and color studies in preparation for the final painting. Next I did a sepia underpainting over the painting to establish base lighting or breakdown of light and shadow. This last image is the painting in progress in oils.
I'll post more stages as I work.

Tuna on a silver platter

This is a new painting I'm working on. I start with a rough thumbnail sketch for the idea. Then do a quick series of value studies for tone and lighting. Then I work on the drawing. Sometimes I take photos or gather photos for reference. Most of the time I prefer to draw directly from my imagination. In this case I just wanted to get an idea of the perspective of the cat faces.

Painting workshop and demonstation

Haynie art at Verksted Gallery

I joined a local artist coop gallery in the beautiful danish town of Poulsbo. It's a great group of artists with a variety of different art styles. Sherri and I loved the gallery the first time we walked in years ago. Since then we have met many of the artists who display there. So if your coming through Pouslbo, stop in. Here are a few pics of the display.

New World of Warcraft cards

It's been a busy year. Here are some new painting I produced for World of Warcraft card game. Fun characters in fantasy environments. I create a drawing first then scan it in to paint on top. The main focus of the drawing is to see the overall shape design and the breakdown of light and shadow shapes. It's not about making something look realistic but how do the shadow shapes create an interesting design. One of the most important decisions is choosing the direction of the light on the subject. Once you choose the direction of the light, the real magic happens as you design how the light falls off the form to create interesting shadow shapes.
