Pencil Drawings

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:05:29 +0000

This new male figurative pencil drawing proved quite a challenge. All about tone, this original art was based on an acrylic painting from a few years ago. It was interesting to see the image transferred to paper on pencil and also greatly reduced in scale.

Original Art by Joe — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:01:55 +0000

Debbie Harry drawing - graphite on paper. This original artwork has been in my mind for some time and has finally made it onto paper. One of the first in a new series of pencil drawings with a realistic edge.

Painting Demonstration

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:18:51 +0000

Painting Demonstrations are usually nerve wracking but great fun too. I recently gave a demo at the Eastwood Art Club in Glasgow. A landscape with a bright colour palette was created in less than two hours. the painting needs a little more work and will be shown on this website soon.

Female Drawing

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:23:13 +0000

Female drawing and painting has taken various forms over the years as I have experimented with various mediums and the process of application. This new version of a previous oil painting is in charcoal and graphite on paper and forms part of a new series of original art currently being produced.

Art Therapy

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:27:27 +0000

Art therapy in it's simplest form. Pencil drawing has been a real help, along with the wonderful music of Rachel Portman as this artist tries to work through a twisted and very painful knee. Pencil drawing is suited to sitting in the one place and creating this graphite on paper sketch of my neice is the latest in a new series of drawings.

Following on the heels of the WASPS Open Studios last month, the Parade Artists group at tthe studios where I am based are joining in the forthcoming multitude of Glasgow art exhibitions and we are [...]

Madonna Paintings

Original Art by Joe — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:07:36 +0000

Madonna Paintings: A Discussion Of Madonna In Art Madonna American Life Madonna paintings were created quite early on in my painting career and reflected some of my previous background in design. When I first started painting for a living, there was definately more “designer” in me than there was painter. I don’t say thi sas [...]

Pencil Art

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:16:23 +0000

Pencil Art – Inner Space Pencil art is a bit of a departure for me. Mostly my days at the studio are spent spattering paint over reasonably large sized canvases. Recently however, I have taken to sitting quietly at desk listening to Radio 4 with a pencil and a drawing pad in my hand. I [...]

Painting Marilyn Monroe

Original Art by Joe — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 00:14:06 +0000

Painting Marilyn Monroe Marilyn In Art by Roger Taylor Marilyn In Art In 2005, I painted Marilyn Monroe in a very graphic style. There were several other artists painting in this way at the time. Knowing this, I always tried to bring something new to my designs. My painting “To Kiss Marilyn” was an extreme [...]

Sleeping Beauty Art

Original Art by Joe — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:37:23 +0000

Sleeping Beauty – Original Oil Painting Sleeping Beauty is an original oil painting which was a natural progression from other paintings created in 2011 featuring facial features and also with a certain geometry working in the background or the construction of the composition of the painting. The Sleeping Beauty title is not really a reference [...]

New Art – Well, New To Me New art has been coming along in the studio in between various events over the past few months. As we head in to the silly season, an d I do find it very silly indeed, I find that it has traditionally become a time for me to press [...]

Boxing Art At Parade Artists

Original Art by Joe — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 23:01:42 +0000

Boxing Art Boxing art has been a subject I return to now and again. There’s something quite arresting about a boxing image, as if just by looking at it you might get punched in the face. I like any artwork that creates a more intense emotion in the viewer. This one was started almost a [...]

Kilt Paintings

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 02:35:59 +0000

I have had certain "landmark" paintings in my career and this is certainly the most widely known artwork I have created. Everyone wants to know who the model is. He was simply a guy i spoke to online in the days when I surfed the likes of Myspace looking for people who would allow me to paint them. This painting sparked an entire series of Kilt Art paintings.

Painting & Christopher Hitchens

Original Art by Joe — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:14:32 +0000

Painting, Christopher Hitchens & Other News Painting has ceased for a while and it’s more than three weeks since I have blogged -after a second email asking me what I was up to, was I still painting, and so I thought it was time I got typing. Blogging, like painting, goes through fits and starts [...]

New Art For 2012

Original Art by Joe — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:03:34 +0000

New Art – New Faces New art has been on my mind, I think it comes with the territory with a new year. Over the holiday period I was painting several days. If you have read elsewhere the way in which I create artwork, then you will know that I paint on several canvases simultaneously. [...]

Portrait Paintings

Original Art by Joe — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 22:03:49 +0000

Portrait paintings in a small scale in acrylic, both male and female "heads", these canvases were both interesting and challenging to paint. The textural element added to the overall appearance of this artwork which comprisers of no less than nine individual portraits.

David Hockney

Original Art by Joe — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:30:07 +0000

David Hockney Tree Art David Hockney was on the main News the other evening: which I thought was interesting. It made a change from all the current doom and gloom and it’s not all that often that the likes of David Hockney appear on current news programmes. Hockney was described as the “greatest living British [...]

Pencil Drawings

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 22:45:14 +0000

Pencil Drawings – Back to Basics Pencil drawings took up a lot of my time as a teenager. In fact, after being forced to study German at School, I rebelled by sitting sketching in my languages class for two years. I have regretted that a couple of times when visiting Colone howver and having to [...]

Painting and Websites

Original Art by Joe — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:08:52 +0000

It can be difficult for artists to return to the canvas after working towards a big event or an enforced break. Also discussed here: why does this website keep changing its appearance?

Kilted Man Paintings

Original Art by Joe — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 21:04:58 +0000

A kilt painting in oil that has possibly taken longe rto finish than any other which I have painted before. Flower OF Scotland has quite a lot going on in it. Painting the shirt took most of the time and I wanted the tecture of the board to show through slightly in places. The grass only came to be following some experimental landscape painting which took place at the same time as working on this figurative piece.

Male Art

Original Art by Joe — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 00:19:22 +0000

Boxing Sailor was started in January 2011 and at mid September 2011 is still being worked on. I have been pressing myself with this painting a nd some others which have been created in a similar vein to create something different for me. Possibly more polished in places. Wether the extra time spent is worthwhile is a matter of opinion but I have enjoyed this painting journey.

Nude Girl Artwork

Original Art by Joe — Sat, 28 May 2011 01:04:06 +0000

"Emerge" was first painted in 2010 but was not shown much and spent most of th next year in my studio. During this time, I worked over the top of the original painting in oil, transforming it into an altogether new artwork.

Landscape Oil Paintings

Original Art by Joe — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 23:40:56 +0000

"Grasslands" was a landscape painting which took quite a while to paint as it developed and changed in various ways whilst I was working on it. Initially, the foreground was not made up of so many strokes. I had used brushstrokes like thi son an acrylic landscape painting before but I had not painted like this in oil.
