Harry Stewart Finally

20×24 in acrylic on canvas.

I have had this unfinished canvas around for many, many years, a project started but one of those pieces I could never get my head around to finish. So when I came across it a few weeks ago I was determined to complete it, this year!

It felt strange to be working on canvas again with its grain and the push and give of it’s surface, made me long for my watercolor paper. The original task was to do a piece for a fellow worker that was into ninja type stuff, thus the title I gave this piece. Looking at it now finished I really like my moon and Jackson Pollock vegetation. Don’t ask why I have a Camelot castle vs. something more oriental, I was young then.  As with my recent works I work hard to get texture, this piece shows that especially in the moon and foreground areas.

Of note, I say it is finished but I want to live with it for awhile to be really sure….. 😉

The 3rd Finger

A 9×12 mixed media.  I have done this imagine three times,twice in color, once on a 512 Macintosh paint program…all are based on a pen and ink drawing I did while in college.  In this version did you notice the ninja cloud guy in a stance? It was so accidental and I didn’t see it until well after the piece was done, cool accident huh? Not sure why I keep going back to it but I am sure I will do it again.
