2.5"x 3.5"(ACEO) oil on artboard SoldMan, these last two aceos kept pickin up glare on the scanner. Hmmm, I see plan of evil is being foiled. The plan being put a thirsty enough ground (gesso etc.) on the board so that it sucks up all the oil in the paint. Then it's matte when you scan it. After you then have to varnish it to get the vibrancy back. Drink up gesso!
I also wanted to mention that I'm a gadget geek and have been waiting eagerly for a good painting app for my palm pre. Well it finally here and it's called Paintr. Of coarse, one of the first things I had to try to paint was a pear:
The developer (Chris of Codeslaw) liked it so much he wants to use it as an example in the palm pre app catalog. I'm pleased as a peach and hope to make many more little paintings with this very cool app.

The honey glows - very nice!
I love it. It's all in there, colour, composition, contrast, the glare you painted, not the glare that came from your scanner. Each painting needs a differents approach for scanning or photographing.
Totally awesome. Colors are so perfect I could taste it.
Two very strong and wonderful pieces. I am inspired every time I click over!
Brilliant work Jeff...love looking around here!
Jeff - I enjoyed reading your DP interview from last week - it's just fun to know a little more. It also brought me back over here to see the GREAT work you are producing (most of which is sold I see!) I love the lost and found edges on this Honey Jar piece. And how cool that your pear will be used in the new app catalog... congratulations!
Hi Jeff!... Just found your terrific blog. Your work is just "plane" beautiful! Rich.. luminous colour... painterly with lively brushwork! Each one is a gem in its own right!
