It’s 4:14. (Whey Fo Me) Originally uploaded by 730N So the blog writing did stall. Apologies for that! I did get lost, but thankfully it was in the studio. I fell out of contact for a little while I was painting a new picture for my first official show in Philadelphia. It was a group…

A look back to a work traded a year ago.
Traded! Originally uploaded by 730N In Pittsburgh at a street fair, I traded this piece for a graffiti inspired work from another artist. I liked the old look of the paper here, which was artificially induced. The cropping and pose of the drawing is pretty interesting as well. I didn’t sign the work on the…

Some Kind of Statement
Some Kind of Statement Originally uploaded by 730N. Clever without being overbearing? There is something I like about this image. A fly pinned to the flag. But why do I like this image?

Julie’s Sycamore
Julies Sycamore Originally uploaded by 730N. The painting is finished, signed, framed and delivered to Pittsburgh. I’m pleased with it and think it was a success. Sycamores are massive and quite beautiful. The bark is typically lighter than most trees and the leaves have a yellowish tinge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_sycamore Native Americans used Platanus occidentalis for a…

Another Painting Progress Report
This one is a portrait of Samantha. The first image is from 1/19/2007. In it, you can see that my colors are a bit muddy, but the expression of the brush stroke is interesting, most notably reflected in the face. The placement is also a bit murky and I am working it out in a…

Painting Progression #1 A Forest Grove.
I remember seeing a movie about 10 years ago or so, where a film crew focused on a picasso painting as he worked on it over however many hours. It was amazing to watch the animated changes play out across the canvas. It also brought a layer of transparency to painting that I thought was…

Throwback in the Self-Referential Sense.
In the spirit of 1998… I present a little watercolor piece called “Dance with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight.” This came out of a watercolor class I was in Connecticut where I was the only male, and the only person under 50 I believe. There were a lot of flowers and soft pastel colored…
