Almost the End of the Year

Posted by jnman078

And such a year it’s been. Good in some regards but bad in many others.

in any case, the first thing I’ve come to do is upload a new piece of artwork that I have been sitting on for several months (shame on me, I know).

Oil pastel on 16″ × 12″ canvas paper

I was commissioned to draw this by some dear family friends of ours; to memorialize the man on the right, whom had recently passed away.

Second of all, I finally got those security warnings that been plaguing my page for a while worked out, so we probably won’t have to worry about that for a while.

I did a New Drawing.

A few days ago, I was told that a friend of my mothers was having trouble accessing this site, but now that I’ve updated that security certificate somewhat, It should be somewhat viewable again.

Which is fortunate, because I just completed a commissioned drawing that I would like to share.

Pencil crayon on 9″×12″ Bristol board

The people in this drawing are friends with my sister, hence why she is giving them this drawing as a wedding gift.

I think that is all for the moment. See you when I finish something else.

New family member.

Chalk Pastel on 18″ × 24″ Mi-Teintes paper.

May I present to you Daphne Zeta Wilson. She is my niece who has just celebrated her first birthday today!

Now would be around the time I would be getting this ready for the People’s Portrait Prize, but there doesn’t seem to have been any word on it happening yet, so it is likely that it has been postponed again.

So far my family and I have survived the Coronavirus panic relatively unscathed. With any luck life will be able to get back to whatever passes for normal these days once we all get vaccinated.

This really should have went up sooner.

Seriously, I finished this drawing in July.

For those who may be looking at this page, rest assured that I am still making art. I am almost finished another painting that I will upload on the next update.

As for other life stuff, I completed a 1st period carpentry apprenticeship in December. Not sure how this will affect my artistic practice, but we’ll see how things go.

Dad’s Portrait

Posted by jnman078

I made a new portrait of my father as a companion piece to the portrait I did of my mother last year

We were driving home from a job in Revelstoke and we passed by the D. Dutchman’s Dairy. Dad got an ice cream cone while I opted for a chocolate milkshake.

It’s called “Dad Eating Ice Cream” and it can be found in my artwork page.
