Artist's Comments

About 5x6" acrylic painting - darn this was hard to photograph! This was the best one I could get of him and scanning it wasn't good either. The minotaur - muscular, yet looming - his eyes stare, but they only show a blank, animal like expression.

I used a couple of reds, a dark blue, diox purple, titian buff and burnt sienna.

This is a really nice painting! I'm really impressed by your recent technique!

Thank you :-)

I have been doing the metal/jewellery thing since September now and it's nice to be drawing again. It's like I needed to step back. I was told in a very friendly way something that my work was lacking, and that was attention to detail, so I'm really trying to be more mindful instead of mindless :-)

How goes the photography? I haven't seen your name pop up in quite a while!

Looks like too calm
I thought he must be angry and terrible

Perhaps not all minotaurs are angry and terrible, this one has feelings and perhaps the heart of a poet!

I think your attention to detail is starting to become remarkable - keep it up!

I end up with very few winter photographs, although I'll probably post some when I'm on spring break next week - it's been a very busy school year for me!

Hehe, I certainly will :-)

Have fun on spring break!

Nice piece, especially the face (and description of him helps to bring to life) that while a monster in some eyes he is not evil, there is just something wild there

Hey there! I haven't seen your name in a while. I'm so glad you like him - minotaurs are like werewolves, sometimes they get a bad rap/rep!
