r/painting

I don’t usually do this kind of painting. This is for a friends wedding and I want it to be actually good instead of “I like this because a friend made it for me” lol so be honest. 12x8inch. This is one session and the wedding is tomorrow so it’ll need to dry since it’s oil and will prob give it to them after their honeymoon

Can you spot the two lovers on that painting ?

Lately I’ve been drawn towards small, minimalist paintings… because they are so convenient and keeps me going when I’m too overwhelmed to start a big piece. I will do one detailed painting soon but till then… these are keeping me happy!

I started painting a short while ago to help me deal with some things.

Its helping me to process thoughts that are too big to look straight on.

I paint them. Look at them while i think and then paint over it. There is a freedom erasing a though process before the spiral.

Made this using u/lucasdpfeliciano his picture as reference.

Prairie Whales

Size: 16" x 10"

Medium: Acrylic

Support: Canvas

When I stand at the edge of a field out in the belly of the Canadian prairies i can't help but think of the ocean.  The way the grass waves in the wind. The distant whine of working farm equipment.  The dappled sunlight coming through scattered clouds. 

I love this painting because it feels like a dream, but also because it's the first I've painted my backyard.  Well, the field behind my backyard, and there's no whales out there. 

Probably.
