I've got a new Knot!


This is the next in what's becoming a fairly large group of what I call "Hyper Realistic Abstractions" They have been my best selling group of paintings. "Chicken Dinner", "Summer Moon", "Mary Contrary I & II", and the recent "Forget Me Knot" are some examples of what I've been doing.

I'm thinking of calling this one: "Knot That!" This is a 12" x 12" study to see if it will work in the large 34" x 34" format that I used with "Forget Me Knot".

Technically the painting is in the "Dead Color" stage. I drew it and painted it using only Cad Orange, Purple, and White. I do plan to glaze the painting with green, probably when I do The Woodlands Art League demo September 22nd. I'm not sure if I'll add a yellow to the mix or not. What do you all think?

On the subject of "Forget Me Knot". It is on display and for sale at Lampros Gallery in The Woodlands. Go by and see it...take it home.

My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
