Michael Jackson Heaven
Having waited a respectful period so as to not take advantage of a national tragedy, here is my pop art rendering of Michael Jackson, sending us a message from Heaven.
Michael hasn’t looked this way in a long time. I choose to remember him in his prime. Isn’t that the way most of us would prefer to be remembered?
Michael was a performer almost from infancy, and as such, he never had a chance at a normal life. He existed only to entertain us. And that is the best and the worst of the story…
Abstract Expressionist 8
abstract expressionist black and white painting, number 8 in the B&W series, this one is Gefährlich ist wer Schmerzen kennt. 24×36, acrylic, krylon and pastels on stretched canvas… Painting by Pagani.
Impressionist Pastel Painting Oregon Nestucca River
Nestucca River & Bay Pastel
A piece of realism just completed. In general, I update my impressionist works at oregonpainter.tv but I like to keep my general blog readers abreast of my efforts, too!
This pastel painting is 11×15 – the framed size is 16×20. You can also find an earlier, smaller version of this work at oregonpainter.tv along with some of my other impressionist paintings. The photo of this painting does NOT do it justice.
(All works on paper)
UPDATE: This painting was one of two entered in the local county-wide art exhibit. They both won FIRST PLACE in their categories (Portraits on Paper, Landscapes on Paper). This painting also won “Best In Class” for all works on paper.
UPDATE 2: Nestucca Pastel is now owned and proudly displayed by the Riverhouse Restaurant in Pacific City, Oregon. You might enjoy dropping by there to see it.
Abstract Expressionist B+W 7
Number 6 in the series of 3-D paintings rendered primarily in black and white has arrived…
Abstract Black and White #6, 24 x 36
This painting has perhaps 2 inches of surface relief with much variation of texture on the canvas via acrylic, krylon and clay.
I may change my mind but at the moment I feel that this is my best work to date, as far as this experimental line goes. There is so much micro-variation that if you don’t have some neural-level reaction to this work …well, you’re probably dead.
As before, serious offers are entertained.
