"PLANET HOLLYWOOD"
This is an oil painting that I did some time back. It, along with 55 other photo-realists and there works are going on tour for two years to various museums across the US, the tour is called "The New Reality". This painting is 40"x38" In painting this, I painted the canvas white then making all the colors transparent I began the layering of colors so as to handle the painting like a watercolor never using white for anything but let the white underpainting shine through..... 5 weeks at 10 to 14 hours a day 7 days a week I committed myself to this... This is but one of the many that this madman did... So to do my blogs is a real treat and a wonderful change of pace. Stay tuned for more blogs coming your way...

"SNOW BOUND"
I sat in my car and waited for the light to get just a little lower so as to get this shot that I felt would make a great subject for a painting... There is a lot of under painting in this giving the coloring and depth I wanted to create this mood. There must be at lest eight different colors in the trees giving an endless array of shades that move in and out pronouncing depth of the forest. Oil on custom made canvas 36"x 30" Soon to be in a gallery.

"TRADE WINDS"
This commissioned painting I just finished was a wonderful departure from my other works.
The size is 50x36 oil on canvas the small blog of this can be seen on this site, it was the study for this painting.... Now that this is completed I can return to my blog paintings..
This is the 6"x6" blog study for the above 50"x36" . The painting now completed I feel it only fitting the owner should have this too, so this is a gift.

Now here is a hangout that is Hollywood. This bar/club/hangout/dance floor and pick-up spot, has been a part of the scene for a very long time. I was cruising Hollywood blvd one hot afternoon when the never ending traffic along this wonderful strip of life comes to a stop, I looked over to my left and there, parked in the red, is this bike in front of the "Frolic Room" I couldn't have asked for a better set-up if I tried.

"BACK FROM ART-EXPO"
Hello everyone out there... I just got back from Art Expo in Las Vegas this last weekend with my publicist. They accomplished getting me into a gallery in Santa Fe so things are moving along in that direction thanks to them. So I'm back painting again. I just re-worked two that are on my blog.. One is "First Rains" I added more color in the horizon and softened the rain.. The other is " The Harbor" Here I re-worked the shadows in the buildings and the cars, I like them better.
Here's a new painting just a nice departure from my others. .

"MY BLACK & WHITES"
Here is a continuation on a series of painting’s as B&W’s… I make my blacks using different color combinations making the black tones warm or cool, then into this concoction a secret dry dust is added that alters the reflective quality of each painting. This dust I refer to is so light that when mixed into the other colors I must turn off all fans, put a mask on, open the jar and carefully, dip a moist palette knife into the dust removing it slowly, for any fast movement and it will float into the air getting everywhere. I then place it gingerly on the colors and slowly blend until I have achieved the shade I want… Now I add my white and this gives me some wonderful gray tones making each painting unique onto itself. Why you ask? Just the madness of loving what I do.

Yes! You have seen this one before, but I re-painted the street. After looking at it, I said, "Mr,G, You can do better" Sooo, I'm showing it again and liking it better. I will be showing another that I just repainted, except that one I re did the the whole painting.. There is not to many things in life that one can re-do so I take full advantage of when I can. Hope you enjoy the new and improved.
