OPUS Series - From Sketch to Custom Pri

OPUS Series

From Sketch to Painting

Sketches in The Creative Process Also Led to Customizable Art

OPUS Process
Over the years, whether on a 14-hour flight to China or some quiet time at an art show, I have sketched constantly.
Finding all these sketches and combining some of my black and white drawings, technology has enabled me to experiment with and understand how different colours can affect a viewer’s "feel" of a painting.

We know that artists have changed the colours of a work by using different techniques and media such as silk-screen, etching, Lino cuts, wood block & more.

My interest differed. I wanted to know and understand how different colours affect a viewer's response to the same work. No artist in their right mind would repaint the same canvas over and over in different colours.
So, a computer monitor became a canvas and apps became my brush, paints, pastels, inks and pencils. This then led to my OPUS Series.

1. To provide the Design & Architectural community & Home Owners with quality art to satisfy their decorative goals.

2. To prove to art galleries & open art exhibition coordinators, that my work process leads to "Art Made By My Own Eyes, Mind & Hands".

My mission:

To understand how different colours and line direction affect the "Feel" of a painting.
Prove that I Do Create With My Own "Eyes & Mind" as Do all artists.

Michelangelo Said " Man Paints with His Brains Not His Hands"

Over the years, whether on a 14 hour, some down time at an art show or a hotel room in Shanghai, I have sketched constantly.

Finding all these sketches and using technology, has enabled me to experiment and understand how different colours can affect a viewer's "feel" of a painting.

Thinking about my process, I recognized a similarity between my digital work and a collage which was introduced in the early 20th Century.

I also thought myself so clever that I had created a new art form. Some research soon destroyed my image of myself as it is already an accepted form with many digital artists.

Using Canvas or Paper, I am not able to achieve what I am able to digitally.

The Interior Design & Architectural Community:

For over 40 years, I have worked closely with Designers and Architects. I understand their need to find the right artwork to complement their designs and ensure it has the correct feel and look. I also understand how frustrating it can be trying to ensure that all the elements come together. Their time is invaluable, and my creative process will provide them with the perfect, highly personalized artwork to enhance any interior. The same applies to individual looking for art to fit with any private home or office.

Select a work from the OPUS or MOTIF Series. If you love it you keep it as is or I will adjust it to better fit your project’s finishes by personalizing its colour and size, as if I m being commissioned. I can work with you and/or your designers in-person or remotely. It’s that simple.

Producing these works digitally enables them to also be customized in colour and size -

Just like being commissioned
