Hey there. I'm Bret. Welcome to my new art blog. I'm planning to showcase my paintings here and break down the process a little for those interested in such things. Here's my most recent work, a 1947 Indian captured in acrylics on a 36x12-inch canvas:
This took me almost a month, all told. Here's what it looked like in the beginning, before the magic started to happen:
This one felt like a pretty huge learning experience for me. Definitely a personal breakthrough, especially with regards to the treatment of light. Here's a detail that will hopefully show a little of what I'm getting at:
Anyhow, that's my first post. Drop by again anytime; there should be more artwork up very soon.

Howya, this is spectacular! Glad clicking on it makes it bigger, I love all the detail, texture and metal work--and the *background*!--Can you please post a close-up of that? Those colors,(and those little highlights in the pink--wow!)they really knock me out! I'm not one for pink, and it's totally unexpected, but it *so* works...
Glad to see you out here in the blogoshpere (or whatever they're calling it this week), man.
And I like the pieces so far. Good use of colour on the motorcycle, and the guitar/amp set look dazzling.
Lee.
Lee! Good to hear from ya, buddy.
And thanks.
Undeniably the most spectacular "Indian" rendition I have ever seen!
Accolades to you!
I have added your link to my blog...Keep it up Howya!
You do texture the absolute best!
