Watercolors Moth on Mango Flowers and Monarch Butterfly on Dry Palm Leaf
Today, I got around to posting my two new watercolor paintings. I try to practice with my watercolors on the weekend. It is a nice change of pace from my regular work. So far, I have been making butterfly paintings. I am trying to paint different butterflies. I do not know what type of moth I painted. I took a photograph of it in my garden. You can see above the photographic reference for my paintings. Taking a photograph saves me the trouble of painting outdoors. Painting outdoors in Florida is a bit of a hassle. It is too hot,...
Hollow Knight Master Grimm Botticelli Painting Parody Art
Today, I made a new Hollow Knight painting art parody. The painting that I chose to parody is the Virgin and Child with Eight Angels by Botticelli. Botticelli is famous for his Greek paintings, but the bulk of his work were Catholic paintings. When I saw this painting, something clicked inside of me. I saw the laurel flowers and the combination of characters. They all seemed ripe for parody. Taking the place of the Virgin Mary, I have Master Grimm. He too had an immaculate conception of his Grimmchild. Surrounding Master Grimm are his eight “angels” or Grimmkin. In the...
Hollow Knight The Swing Painting Parody
Today, I was in the mood to do another painting parody. I made a parody of The Swing or The Happy Accidents by Jean Honore Fragonard. He was a Rococo painter. Rococo was all about humor, beauty and silliness. It was meant to contrast the seriousness of the Baroque period. In my version, the Pale Lady is playing in the Swing. A Mantis Traitor is Pushing the Swing for her. I added little shoes to her tentacle legs. I did that in order to have her lose one of her shoes, in order to better parody the painting. In the...
Six Pouring Paintings Abstract Acrylic Art
Today, I wanted to show you my latest pouring paintings. I took two photographs of these paintings. One of the photos features the painting wet, and the other dry. The first photographs show the dry paintings. They are the finished version of my artworks. I frankly like better the paintings when they are wet. Acrylics always tend to dry in darker hues. So, it is always better to work with bright colors. They will eventually turn darker once the paint dries. I am almost out of pouring paints. I haven’t bought any acrylics in a while. I also used...
Hollow Knight Animal Crossing Parody
Today, I got around to finishing my new Hollow Knight parody. It features a crossover with Animal Crossing. The Collector went to the Animal Crossing Museum to show Blathers his latest catch. The problem is that Blathers is afraid of bugs. The Collector is quite enthusiastic about his collection, so he is just shoving that Grub right into Blathers’s face. There is a bug preserve in the Animal Crossing Museum. I feel that the Collector would thrive in the Animal Crossing world. Most of the things that you do there is collect stuff. In his back, the Collector is carrying...
