Sickness has been being passed back and forth around the Lehman household the last few day. I am thinking the homes affected by the water line break a few days ago may have been a little wider than previously thought. I can’t verify it, but it seems to correlate with the onset of this stomach ailment that we all ended up having at the same time.
I’ve been looking at doing more oil paintings in the near future and getting some more representational artwork out into the open. It is absolutely the opposite of the abstract stuff that I’ve produced over the last four years. In particular, I am being drawn back to landscape painting and classical still life paintings.
I think this has been a revelation that has happened in two parts.

This is a mixed media painting utilizing collage, fumage, acrylic, ink and other paper staining processes. You can’t quite see it here but there is also a crackle glaze over much of the image as well. It is 30″ x 40″ on canvas.
I am still debating if the painting is finished or not.

Back in my days writing the art blog “Artist Hideout” with b5media, I did a lot of featuring of other artists. Today, I get to be in the other shoes of someone who is being featured on someone else’s blog. It’s a nice change.
My “Reach for Light” iphone (actually I use an ipod touch) drawing was featured at Just iPhone Art today. It’s weird, though since I only started doing iphone art using the iphone app, “brushes” just about two weeks ago. To be featured among some of the other amazing artists there is pretty cool. If anything, I have been using “brushes” as a means to play with conceptual pieces without really dragging around my laptop and wacom tablet. Besides, it fits better in my pocket and I don’t take up four seats at the coffee shop with just an ipod either.
Thanks for the feature Patrick.
This didn’t start out as a strawberry, but it became one… Maybe it’s an inner longing for a fruit of some kind. ooh, we have mandarin oranges….
Runs off to the fridge.
I will begin printing some of these soon. I think the size will eventually be either business card size or aceo. Iam leaning toward buisness card size. Exploring working on such an intuitive interface is a unique experience.
I only have been to the sea once. It was in Maine. One of those rocky coasts with a lighthouse and it was beautiful. It is a memory only tainted with the smell of dead fish rotting on the rocks and the cold climate. Either way, enjoy this little painting.
This is my second digital drawing using ‘brushes’ app for iPod touch. Getting better. 
I drew this for my wonderful wife. Her favorite tree is a pine tree. As of today we have been together for five years since we first started dating.
I decided to get back into painting regularly. Tonight I painted a new watercolor peice called Tiger Lilly. I am starting a series of flowers. Not sure how many I’ll eventually do, but this is the first.
