Day 263 (March 23rd, 2011)
Title: Photo of a Portrait of a Gentleman

Continuing with a few of the artist that I spotted on our last trip to the Legion of Honor, today I am showing Tiziano Vecellio (more commonly known as Titian) painting "Portrait of a Gentleman".  I really like this painting, because it reminds me so much of a photograph.  Something that today, you might say to your friend, "Say Cheese!" and poof - you've got a portrait.  But, back in 1550 when this was done, it took Titian hundreds of hours to paint this. 

Again, as I mentioned yesterday, try and get to the Legion of Honor and enjoy all of their wonderful art.

Enjoy!

Title: Acrylic Painting #2

Yeah, I know this is similar to the last photo, but I've been practicing my painting for a couple of day, and like all artist I get a little OCD, so you get two pictures of 1 square inch of my painting!  Don't worry, something new and different tomorrow!

Day 5 (July 8th, 2010)
Title: Acrylic Painting

I'm only just learning to paint acrylic (or anything for that matter), and while the full-sized painting might look like what might happen if you microwaved a can of split-pea soup (with bacon, of course!) for 35 hours, a small close-up section isn't so bad.  Enjoy!
