Not much to say about this one. It’s another abstract painting of trees :-) Painting process video below!

Orange Daisies, 16x20", $350 | This one did not turn out the way I had envisioned . . . or maybe I didn't have a clear vision in mind before I began. Either way, I wasn't too happy with the direction this painting was going for most of the time.

The Voices of the Trees

Posted on February 23, 2019 by Wess Foreman

When I started this one, the bright colors I used were simply going to be an under-painting for the more realistic landscape to come, but after I added the tree trunks on the left side, I knew it had to be a colorful abstract landscape. So I just went with it. It was like the trees had voices and wanted their own thing. The Voices of the Trees. Video below of the painting process!

Ethereal Landscape

Posted on November 6, 2018 by Wess Foreman

I would almost describe this as a Candy Land landscape, the randomly distributed dobs of color recalling gumdrop shapes across the bright landscape. A land where the sky is painted-in with drippy white paint and all the cares of humanity are stripped away just long enough to capture it on canvas. (video of the painting process added below)

Courage, Kitten

Posted on October 26, 2018 by Wess Foreman

This is one of the few images I’ve painted directly from my imagination instead of relying on a reference photo. It comes across as a painted cartoon, and I’m fine with that. This is the third time I’ve painted this image, this time spanning two canvases.

Not one but two new paintings in the same style. A more subdued, quiet style from me, perhaps, but I like it. Contact me if interested; and keep in mind, I can paint similar paintings in any size you'd like (would love to paint an extra-large version, for instance---hint, hint).

Echoes and Shadows

Posted on October 30, 2017 by Wess Foreman

An interesting, quirky painting that started from a simple reference photo of a crowd on the street. The final touch that made it work for me, ultimately, was the addition of the shadows on the walls and abstract figures hidden in the clouds. I bounced around several titles, finally landing on the current one which somehow works (might start a new series based on this one).

Lego Duck

Posted on June 12, 2017 by Wess Foreman

I chose the subject matter on a whim really, but I'm glad I did. Painting small live objects (as opposed to painting from a photograph or computer screen) is a valuable exercise for the artistic mind. There's just something different about it---if nothing else, it presents a nice change of pace (though I'm sure there is something more to it than that---I'm just not putting my brain on it at present).

Anyway. Lego Duck. Or chicken. Or bird---it doesn't matter to me. I like how the painting turned out. I've added the painting video below. Thanks!

Untitled Cityscape

Posted on June 6, 2017 by Wess Foreman

This one is something of a throwback to an earlier painting series of mine---my Civilization series---featuring bright colors, bold lines, and a particular primitive painting style that I quite like. Perhaps I'll do more of these in the future....especially if this video gets some love (thumbs up and comment, please?).

Blue Crab

While waiting on a replacement sdcard for my dslr camera, I used my cellphone to record this painting process (thus the wider angle of the lens). I think the quality turned out well and since the paint palette is also included in the shot, maybe the wide-angle lens is a better way to go .
