new painting: Beret and Backpack

The backpack and beret of this Paris pedestrian initially caught my eye, but it was the silvery blue of the wet sidewalk, warmth of the shadow and motion of the subject that kept me looking. The aerial viewpoint creates abstract shapes from the foreshortened figure and flattens the “scene”. This painting is not only reminiscent of Paris, travel and youth, but also helps us to rediscover the wonder of the insignificant and cultivate our ability to enjoy the moment. size, media, etc. ->

Woman in White on Bicycle at the Beach

This painting was inspired by artist Warren Keating’s view from the Santa Monica pier at the cyclists riding below him. It was created by using a digital video frame capture as reference to paint an expressive oil on canvas of the split-second moment. The resulting signature “Pixel Impressionism” brush strokes render the movement of the bicycling figure. more info / purchase>

Man Wearing Cap Looking at Art in Gallery

This painting was inspired by GoPro footage that artist Warren Keating secretly recorded at a gallery where his paintings were exhibited. Keating found the perfect still image from the recorded video to use as reference to create this Impressionistic figure painting. His signature Pixel Impressionism style renders the movement of the strolling figure and the immediacy of the moment. The resulting piece is my contemporary take on figurative painting. The piece is protected from dust, smoke and UV damage by a satin finish varnish which preserves the richness of the oil painting without distracting glare. The painting is on a gallery wrapped canvas with finished white edges. It comes ready to hang. more info>
