a new painting

Postby vinnieL » Wed Jul 01, 2009 8:40 pm

Well I thought I would share this with you all. This is a painting of me while playing. The painting also has the colors of the flags that represent my heritage which is Colombian and Dominican. This painting was done for me by an artist in Puerto Rico which also makes me proud because it comes from an Island and people that I love. I hope you enjoy! I apologize for the picture quality but it's difficult to take a picture of something behind glass.

Cool bro! 8)

Does the artidst take an existing photo fo you, transfer it onto canvas, then paint into that picture on the canvas? The facial area looks very photo like in the picture...
Or he is an amazing artist!

An actual photo was sent but to my knowledge it is not a transfer. As i look at it in person there are some differences in my facial features but it is still an incredible work of art. Now if only i was better loking! Lol

This is the process , you may get an idea from the pics or may confuse you. Canvas is trigered, I play it like a drum...you hear sounds as I strike it with the brushes impregnated in paint, and at the end there is an image. Here I am painting Carlos Santana at MOLA on 8th st ( Calle 8 ) Miami.
