The JM collection thread (Updated 7-28-04 New Stuff)

Um, a little of both. I sell stuff from time to time, but I don't have anything hanging in public right now. I just paint every night. If someone wants to buy something, the extra cash is always nice.

Great stuff as always JM. Your use of color throughout is brilliant.

My favorite for drawing- "Andrew Wyeth." Wonderful detail and an extremely solid portrait.

Favorite for color and design- "Soul and Fire." Excellent stuff.

All excellent, I like the drawing Andrew Wyeth for all the detail and percision in it. I don't think I could pick a favorite painting though, so many of them are great.. I suppose I would say Peasant because it seems most unusual to me.

Thanks Cigs & Tracer. Here is my newest piece, the 5x3 canvass that I built. I hope you guys dig it.

Excellent stuff. I'm glad you bumped this thread up . I wish you'd do some game/anime characters for us, though. That'd ROCK!

Awesome the color looks like an art nuevo[sic] piece. Like an Alphonse Mucha print or something. Good work as usual. Is there supposed to be a fire behind the main figure or a cloud with lightning? If its fire i like the contrast to the small flame in the figure's candle.

Thanks guys.

I should have mentioned that the title of the piece is Stained Glass II. I am a big fan of stained glass. The outlines divide the elements of the image, much like the leading in a L.C. Tiffany window. The actual subject matter of the girl & her pose ARE influenced by Art Nouveau (Mucha is a personal favorite). Good call Jester!

I've not seen your stuff before, and I have to say I'm quite impressed! I love your sense of layout and colors. Excellent stuff. Your Stained Glass pics are my faves, especially II, which is absolutely lovely.

Hey.

It has been quite a while since I have posted any new paintings. Here is a new one, it is from a series of paintings I'm doing from my grandfather's old photo album. The picture is from 1933 or so, & dates from before he married my grandmother. Both of them have passed away, so no one in the family knows who the people in the album are. They could be relatives, friends or old girlfriends of his. The totaly mystery about who these people are really interests me, it also explains the name of the piece
