My Art Works

I wanted show some of my artworks. I'm hoping to sell some and am looking for some advice on how to do that, and which ones might be favourites to sell.
So here they are, some are from a few years ago and some are quite recent. Happy looking :)

      


Malpas Dam 2005
 The above painting is not from one of my most proudest moments, but it was my first oil painting ever. I painted it in school with a teacher who wasn't a very good teacher hahaha

Still-Life, 2007
My second oil painting. This one was completed in my first year of university. The exercise was a white-on-white still life. It was rather hard as all the pieces set up were various whites. Another of my least favourite works, but an improvement on the last.

A portrait of J.Free, 2007

My first portrait painting. I was quite proud of this painting when I completed it. It was completed in a class at university where we had a fellow student sit for us over a course of 3 or 4 classes. 

Missy's Kennel, 2007

Acrylic painting of our dog's kennel up in the paddock where we used to live. I like that there is detail in the kennel and the surrounds are more or less out of focus.

Missy and an unnamed cowboy, 2007
This acrylic painting was painted from an image I conjured up in my mind, except for the dog; I actually half painted that from life. Not a completely accurate painting, but I kind of like it anyway :)

Inspired by the film 'Pollack', 2008
I had a go at trying to paint Jackson Pollack style after watching the film starring Ed Harris. Unfortunately I didn't have the right paints for it, but I still had fun making it, and I quite like the result.  

Elvis, 2008

This was supposed to be a portrait of Elvis Presley. Although it doesn't look very much like him, it was inspired by him. 

A mixture of emotions, 2008
This was a painting inspired by how I felt at the time. A loss of friendship, the feeling of being trapped and suffocated by family, among other emotions.

Piano Man-A tribute to a friend, 2008
I painted this after a friend, and fellow student at uni died in an accident. He was an awesome piano player, and an all round fun guy.


Well there is just a taste of some of the paintings I have done...I'm going to post some more later on...
So until next time...keep smiling :)
