French Nouveau Frame, Works!

The working title of this painting is "Path To The Bay." It was crafted with the intention of fitting perfectly within this frame, even though this may not align with traditional artistic practices. The painting is a nod to the various vacation spots I have been to, where there was always a trail that wound away from the house and through neighboring areas, leading to breathtaking beaches for swimming and fun.

Tauranga

I have been to some places that everyone in New Zealand loves to visit. Tauranga is a bay of plenty city that despite having a confusing road system has some of the loveliest views around. Mt Maunganui is something I have got to get around to painting. But while I was there I did these small paintings of other islands by the beach. These use my plastic technique.



Here's One I Did Earlier

When I lived in New Plymouth awhile back, I always loved painting local scenes. Sometimes in oils and some times in watercolours but never in plastic. I really didn't have the space. Artists need lots of space and storage as I am finding out. My back room is full of art and frames. I'll need to think about a proper studio space soon. Oh and here's one or two I did earlier.

Fabulous New Process For Style

I've been immersing myself in the world of AI technology and its impact on the art industry. My fascination with the integration of art and technology dates back to my university days, and since then I've been exploring and experimenting with coding algorithms to create art. I was once awarded a 20K grant from the Arts Council Australia to develop my L2A (Linear Autonomous Animation) System, which now seems primitive in comparison to today's technology. During my recent studies, I came across numerous innovative techniques, one of which I utilized to create this interesting self-portrait.
