Meet "Different al"


This is "Different al" and he's my new HyperRealistic/Abstract paintings. He's in a very early stage and as you can see I haven't even painted his "eye" yet. As with all my paintings, this is a very realistic painting, but I like to find the interesting and unusual perspective in real life and then blow it up, crop it, or shrink it to find the beauty that you normally wouldn't see.

Can anyone out there figure out what Al really is?

When Al is finished he'll be one of the three paintings I'll have in the Betz Art Gallery 12 x 12 Show. This is one of the most fun Art Shows you'll ever go to, and I hope everyone will save the date. The 12 x 12 Show will be November 12th, from 6:00 to 9:00, and will run for 3 weeks. The Betz Art Gallery is at 1208 W. Gray in the River Oaks section of Houston. I hope to see everyone there.

About Me

My photo
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
