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.

New Drawings

Here are a few new pieces. The new cat drawing is called Tuna Dreams. It's about dreaming about what you love. I'm currently working on this painting in oils. Someone asked me where do you get your ideas. I carry a sketchbook around everyday in my backpack and jot down random ideas from my daily experience. It's amazing what you will see are think in a single day that is great content for a painting or piece of art. Most of my drawings just start as interesting shapes that emerge into something. I try not to think about it too much and just let God inspire me as I move my pencil around the paper. The focus for me is to try to make beautiful shapes and lines. Creativity is never the same. I don't completely understand but each fish or cat I draw looks different from the last. No two look the same. It's part of one body of work. For those of you drawing today, Happy drawing!

Art love,

Jeff

Knowing

Here is my latest fantasy fish sculpture.

Haynie Collaborations

Sherri and I did a series of collaborations with a fish theme. I sculpted the fantasy fish with sculpy then painted them. Sherri took the fish and designed them into a box frame with embellishments.

The frames are cigar boxes. The fish have mosaic and glass bead inlays.
