Hellscape

Renamed from "The Landscape of Hell".

Newer, better photo of yesterday's drawing (see a couple of posts below):


Hellscape, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 14" x 11".

Still not perfect -- drawings are difficult to photograph without getting glare etc. in the photo.

Revelation

New ink drawing:


Revelation, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 14" x 11".

The Monster Inside Us All

New Hell demon image -- showing the humanity inside the monster...or vice versa...


The Monster Inside Us All, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 14" x 11".

Not Heaven

A new brush & ink drawing, done today. Not a good photo, I'll try & replace tomorrow:


Landscape of Hell, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 14" x 11".

I did clean it up a bit in Photoshop.

Abandoned Head

This was a piece I worked on some months ago & then put aside, possibly unfinished. I was moving some things around in my studio today & it caught my eye...I thought it was worth the effort to scan in & post here.


Abandoned Head, 2009 or 2010, ink & acrylic on paper, 11" x 8" approx.

Nocturne Rising

Another ink drawing I did the other day...at first I wasn't sure if I liked it, but now I think I do...


Nocturne Rising, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 11" x 8.5".

Purity

New small acrylic painting of a woman's head on white paper:


Purity, 2010, acrylic on paper, 11" x 8.5".

Woman

Together with the 2 drawings in the previous postings, this makes a little trilogy of archetypal heads.


Woman, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 11" x 8.5".

Head of Narcissus

Another in this mini-series (see below) of archetypal heads:


Head of Narcissus, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 11" x 8.5".

Ancient Head

Sometimes I like to go back to archetypes & see if I can find anything new in them.


Ancient Head, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 11" x 8.5".

Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't.

The Prophet

New ink sketch of a head:


The Prophet, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 10" x 8".

Small painting of a head with eyes closed

An odd one this, but I thought it was interesting enough to put here:


Small painting of a head with eyes closed, 2010, acrylic on card, 11" x 8.5".

Soul Number 7

A new image from the ongoing & loosely-titled "souls" series:


Soul Number 7, 2010, acrylic on card, 11" x 8.5".

I have no idea whether or not this is #7 in the series, but the title presented itself to me.

The West Wind

A new small painting (study?) of a head, inspired by those old maps & paintings which depicted the wind as a blowing face...


The West Wind, 2010, acrylic on construction paper, 11" x 8.5".

The Translucent Ones

Another new one:


The Translucent Ones, 2010, acrylic on board, 14" x 11".

I'd like to do some more pieces with the multiple figures. We'll see.

Another Quiet Day in Hell

Another new one from The Underworld:


Another Quiet Day in Hell, 2010, acrylic on board, 16" x 12".

Tomb of the Creator

I have had a lot of problems trying to get a good photo of this one, due to glare & reflections. This is probably the best I'll get for now.


Tomb of the Creator, 2010, acrylic on board, 14" x 11".

Woman's Torso

From the new white-on-black pieces.


Woman's Torso, 2010, acrylic on black paper, 14" x 12" approx.

Solitude

Another new small painting, a study, probably. Very simple, almost abstract.


Solitude, 2010, acrylic on panel, 10" x 8".

Empty Vessel

Another white acrylic "drawing" on black paper:


Empty Vessel, 2010, acrylic on black paper, 14.5" x 12" approx.

Kind of like an empty cocoon, as my son noted.

Seated Figure

New figurative painting, not from life:


Study of a Seated Figure, 2010, acrylic on board, 14" x 11".

Figure Lost Inside Himself

Another new one:


Figure Lost Inside Himself, 2010, acrylic on black paper, 14.5" x 12" approx.

Study of a Man's Back

Not from life.


Study of a Man's Back, 2010, acrylic on black paper, 14.5" x 12" approx.

Again, not a great photo.

The Embrace of Hope

New painted drawing(?) on black paper:


The Embrace of Hope, 2010, acrylic on black paper, 14.5" x 12" approx.

Photo is slightly out of focus -- probably due to being blown around in the wind...will try & get a better one.

Sinking Head

Now renamed as Soul Disintegration.

Another little one from the Hell/Underworld series:


Soul Disintegration, 2010, acrylic on panel, 8" x 6".

Approaching Doom

I started this little one a long time ago...


Approaching Doom, 2010, acrylic on panel, 8" x 6".

The Outskirts of Hell

New small painting from the Hell/Underworld series:


The Outskirts of Hell, 2010, acrylic on panel, 10" x 8".

Might do some more work on this one.

Inferno

Small Hell/Underworld acrylic painting:


Inferno, 2010, acrylic on board, 10" x 8".

Infernal Sky

Another new small Hell/Underworld painting:


Infernal Sky, 2010, acrylic on board, 12" x 9".

The Fields of Mars

Another Hell/Underworld sketch-painting:


The Fields of Mars, 2010, acrylic on construction paper, 11" x 8.5".

Again, might be made into a more finished piece, like the example below.

View of Hell

This is a small painted sketch for the Hell/Underworld series:


View of Hell, 2010, acrylic on construction paper, 11" x 8.5".

Might be made into a larger piece...

Drawing of a Woman's Head

New small ink drawing, done to be auctioned in Rhinebeck Science Foundation fundraiser:


Sketch of a Woman's Head, 2010, pencil & ink on card, 11" x 8.5".

Head of a Youth

I did this drawing for the Rhinebeck Elementary School Whale Watch auction. Every year, the 5th grade goes to Cape Cod on an educational & fact-finding mission to look at whales & other stuff. This year, I'm going with my daughter.


Head of a Youth, 2010, ink & acrylic on card, 11" x 8.5".

I was just going to do a b/w drawing, but then I thought some color might help...

Closed Soul

I haven't been able to get into the studio much over the last week due to all the snow that fell. We also lost a tree or two, some branches, etc.

Anyway, here's a new ink sketch:


Closed Soul, 2010, brush & ink on paper, 11" x 8.5".
