So I finished this sunset today- 3 panels- (1) 24 x 36 & (2) 12x36 inch gallery wrap canvases.

I decided to create a glowing, yet simple sunset that would look great on a wall, and not command all of the attention from the rest of the room like some of my paintings (sorry!)

So this one is for those who just want a peaceful place to contemplate the beauty that God brings us, if we only take time to look!

Eagle progress

This is a shot of the eagle after a special glaze of umber and blues were painted on, and then rubbed off. It gives the statue the look of an actual bronze statue!

I will still tone this down a little later, since, I want the statue to be more realistic than bronze. In real life, the bald eagle's feathers are brown to blue/black, so I'll darken them a bit. I'll also paint the feet and beak yellow, and of course the white tail feathers, etc.

Eagle progress

This is the statue after the copper-brass coat of paint. This is meant to partially show through the next layers of paint.

Daily Painting - TURBO LIGHT by AJ LaGasse

A New Daily Painting - 'INDIGO SHURIKEN' - ABSTRACT Textured Oil Painting by AJ LaGasse

Here's todays painting- a textured oil painting with deep blues and white highlights that represent a japanese shuriken , used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing. The shuriken was originally used by ninja warriors.

I've been a martial arts enthusiast since my childhood, after watching Bruce Lee on the big screen. His best moves were definitely in 'Enter the Dragon', and although I've had formal training in several styles, I completely understand Bruce's take on creating your own style from many styles. You can never have too much information, and no single style is 'better' than others. For example, his original formal training in Wing Chun never included the types of kicks that he was noted for in his movies. Most of his kicks in the movies were Tae Kwon Do based, IMO. His own style of fighting, Jeet Kune Do, actually discouraged high kicks, since they tend to leave you open to your opponent.

Anyway, check out the painting!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yeah, I know I'm a little late, but I've actually been working on several commissions. That's why I haven't posted a daily painting for a few days. Not to mention that I took a day off (yes, an ENTIRE day!).

Now that I've de-compressed and re-charged :) , I'm ready to try to have something for you tomorrow. So check back, and see what I cook up!

PS- I've also been busy painting an eagle statue that I bought my wife for Christmas.


The upper part of this eagle is what it looked like when we got it. The lower portion is the gesso coat that I started to apply as a base coat.
