Benches!
I call this bench, "51 POINTS!" and is the first bench of 2012!
This one is called, "The Lighthouse." I think it's pretty self explanatory. I liked working on this one (well, I like working on all of them)
because I got to do effects like the light from the lighthouse and the fog happening in front of the clouds or the lighthouse.
Below is, "A Whale of a Bench." I think it's pretty self explanatory. I liked the way the whale came out. I was nervous about the splashes and it was the first bench that I thought, "If I screw up I'll just fix it." Usually I'm thinking, "Don't screw up! Don't screw up! Don't screw up!"
Below is the bench called, "Merci M. Seurat." The tiger that started appearing on the benches in 2008 or so doesn't really live in Fairyland, but he will appear on all the benches for reasons that remain a mystery, but he insists.
The picture above and below this are the legs.
I will never again do a painting of just dots!
Here a few of the other benches I've done. I have pictures of all the ones after I got a digital camera.
For a long time the dragon and boy was my favorite bench. It must have been raining when I took the picture.
I thought it might be funny to see if people would sit on a cactus. They do!
We had been to Venice, Italy and I thought I could do a canal with a Gondola on a bench.
Edward Hopper might be my favorite artist who doesn't draw comic books.
The above one might be my favorite one. It was the first one I named and it's called, "First in a Series." It came out closer to what I had in mind than any other bench I've done.
This was the tiger's first appearance on a bench.
The Stairway to the Clouds was not one of my favorites. It was definitely furthest from what I tried to do compared to how it came out.
A detail to one of my earlier benches.
I always liked those fruit and vegetable boxes you'd see in the grocery store when I was a kid. The pictures of California were so exotic and unreal. ( I had no idea back then how true to the spirit of California those boxes were.) Anyway, I tried to make this bench look as much like one of those boxes as I could given it was a bench.
And now, a group photo!
