There's No More PIE!! oil on board

[UnRuli]

Wow, I thought for sure I'd have some spare time over the holiday break to spend some time here but oh boy was I wrong......my job worked the heck out of me for the entire time so that I couldn't even get caught up on some of the things I'd hoped to do over the break.  Sigh.

I needed to finish this painting over the holiday but wasn't able to do so until I got back to classes.  Still, I'm SO glad it is now complete!  I was painted for my Fantasy/Sci-Fi painting class.  Fantasy/Sci-Fi isn't really my thing but I thought it would be good experience to learn to do some work in this genre. I'm thrilled with how it turned out and I'm actually looking forward to doing a few more like this.

Oils on 24" x 36" cradled Ampersand Gessobord.  The figure was built up layers of VanDyke Brown and white with later glazes of color.  The title is "There's No More PIE!" (I like the title because it makes me giggle!!).

[bonesaw]

wow that is kick ass i cant wait to see more of your artwork! 

[Glamis]

Kudos! It is way beyond awesome!

[UnRuli]

Thanks guys!  The technique I used made "short work" (still a LOT of work, but less than it would have otherwise taken) of the project. 

I'm so pleased with how this painting turned out that I've opted to take one of my other classes as an independent study with this instructor.......th ere shall be more creepiness to come (though it may be a few months before completion).

[FoxyBlue]

That's crazy good!! And totally creepy!! Wow...

[madgrin]

Perfect title!  Man, he's a creeper.  Well done.

[starbelly3]

VERY, very cool. I love the title too. Just so creepy! Amazing work.

[Midnight Sun]

YOU are very talented, albeit kinda warped  I love this painting!

[UnRuli]

I've been trying since I started classes to do SOMETHING creepy.  Unfortunately everything I did wound up as creepy-cute instead (not at all what I was looking for).  I think I finally figured out the creepy thing........and I hope to flex my new-found "creepy muscles" in future work.

[NightOwl21]

this is amazing and frightening all at once. I"m almost terrified to eat pie now x) what if he comes knocking on my door?

[teachart]

I LOVE THIS!!! My little guy (for some reason) just learned to say "pie" and has been saying it non stop for the past couple of days. Now I'm afraid that if I don't get off my duff and make him one he will turn into this man!!

[UnRuli]

"This man" is my husband.  Unfortunately, he's not too terribly thrilled with the painting and isn't keen on having it hanging in the livingroom (partypooper!). 

Little does he know, I plan to do a whole SERIES of Fantasy Sci-Fi paintings with him as the subject (I actually love painting him!  He has such long limbs that it makes for easy "creepiness" (in my journey to find my "inner creepy artist").  I think I'll remind him that as the spouse of an "artist" that it is his DUTY to pose for my paintings.   Heck, I think there are a lot of guys out there that would LOVE to have paintings done of them like this........I think he should be grateful!  Don't you?

[Midnight Sun]

I think you're reaching your inner creepy very well and your husband should be elated  

My first thought when I saw this pic was.....Stephen King....I would submit some of your creepy pic ideas to him for one of his book covers or something....his inner creepy (and he's off the creepy metre *snort*) would probably hire you to do something!!! Seriously.

[CraftyStoner]

Oh my. I have to say I love this. Not only is it incredible because it's well done. But the humor is awesome to. Digging the teeth.

[glambastard]

wow, the details are amazing. but it totally creeps me out, lol.

[craftewoman]

Very disturbing! Well done. You have such talent. And I'm envious that you get to go to school to study art!

[beccaboo]

This is so awesome!!
I have always wanted to be able to paint like this!

[drackie]

a work of a genius.
wow.

[Toney]
