Through the Wild Wood series

Posted on January 31, 2017 by Wess Foreman

This series began two years ago, really, as a set of four 36x24" paintings which were painted all at one time, the idea being they could be displayed as a group or individually. I had originally called them "Paysage Energique" (Energetic Landscape), but I am renaming them as "Through the Wild Wood---large". Here they are (all of them still available, by the way):

"Through the Wild Wood series---large", 36x24" and $500 each

The new set of Through the Wild Wood paintings are smaller, at 8x10", and available in both vertical and horizontal formats. I painted a batch of ten each to start with. These paintings are all similar in style and color and subject matter---indeed, they are painted in batches to ensure the consistent look across all paintings in the series (see video below of the painting process)---but they are each original pieces. Due to the nature of this series of paintings, I will not be posting each specific painting, only these few examples of the painting series---you understand.

Additionally, because of my rapid workflow and because they are painted on canvas panels instead of bulky traditional canvas, I am offering these 8x10"/10x8" paintings in the Through the Wild Wood series at a lower price-point than other paintings of this size and I am also offering free shipping! (Thought I'd make it easy to say, "yes.") Anyway here are the smalls:

Through the Wild Wood series---small, 10x8", $50 each w/free shipping

Through the Wild Wood series---small, 8x10", $50 each w/free shipping

And finally, here's a little video of the painting process. (If you've been enjoying my videos, please subscribe to my YouTube channel to be notified when new videos come out! Oh, and here's the link my YouTube channel: youtube.com/user/wessf. Thanks!

substratum #1

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Wess Foreman

After a few weeks away from the easel, I returned and decided to lean even more heavily toward the abstract side of things with this piece I'm calling, "Substratum #1." I very rarely start and finish a painting in the nonobjective abstract realm. Usually there is some semblance of familiarity, even with my abstract work . . . a horizon line, something resembling trees or people, something recognizable. In that way, this one remains a mystery.

I like the color choices I made, keeping the primary colors, despite the dark, brooding atmosphere of the painting. Initially, I had the idea of going with a Sunday comics theme, the yellow, blue and red suggesting the newspaper ink, but somewhere along the way the idea changed into something else, perhaps something more substantial. And somehow the energetic, kinetic application of color throughout the painting is kept in check with the subtle black border, conveying less an idea of excitement and more of an idea of static, inner turmoil, in my opinion (though it might be seen by others as frantic energy I suppose; that's fine). Anyway, I like how it turned out, and I plan to do more like this.

Substratum #1, 39x37", $1200 (no. 1042) — Substratum #1, 39x37", $1200 *(no. 1042)*

mad symphony #4

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Wess Foreman

I had many doubts about this diptych (two-canvas painting) throughout the process of painting it, and I still have some as I write this. Like all the Mad Symphony paintings, this one is busy to the point of being frantic (but this is a major theme in the series and I think there is something endearing about its raw energy). I suppose it being so big (six feet wide and four feet tall) has me worried about carting it around until it finds the right buyer, but this is why I made it a diptych and not one giant canvas.

toulouse and bourbon

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Wess Foreman

I left the painting raw and unrefined, capturing (hopefully) the movement and energy of the city. I have nothing else to say about it really---it was a quick painting and I like the results. Find, please, the link to the painting video down below!

Toulouse & Bourbon, 20x16", $300 - (no. 1016) — Toulouse & Bourbon, 20x16", $300 - *(no. 1016)*

Mad Symphony #1

Posted on July 31, 2015 by Wess Foreman

This one started off as one thing then turned into something else. I like the finished piece. It's . . . hip. I went ahead and called this a "#1" because I intend to paint more. Don't forget to see the painting process video down below!

Mad Symphony #1, 48x54", $1900 (no. 1003) — Mad Symphony #1, 48x54", $3300

paysage energique

Posted on April 3, 2015 by Wess Foreman

These four imagined landscapes were born of an energetic series of painting sessions wherein I had the idea to make these four canvases work as individual paintings and as a group. Together they form a rather fantastical, fiery copse of trees, an arrangement I could only call an energetic landscape (or "Paysage Energique" in french).
