Ron Paul Tea Party Day Money Bomb to win Iowa~!

Anyone that frequents the blog probably knows I am a Ron Paul supporter in the coming Presidential Campaign. And if u care about this country and its people, you would probably know that he's the best candidate for the job. If you had doubts and heard otherwise, find his speeches and watch him during the few minutes given him in the debates. Please help him end the media blockage and win the key states like Iowa, with your generous donation!!

Personal commission in the works~

I was commissioned to do a painting of a Goat or Lamb by a family friend. The painting is quite big(30X 40 in). i hope this goes well~!

Happy Thanksgiving!! :D

OMG~! My friends inform me I am late on this, but i just found out the MET has been putting full HIGH REZ images of their collection on line! Right, not the zoom-able but un-savable bits, the Whole thing! Here are some of my finds! Try clicking on these~! Amazing!

So Happy Thanksgiving and spread the joy! ^0^

P.S. How can you stop at just buying one Manchini?! Come on Met!!

Help!

It started out as a great weekend: I did an oil painting demo in 4 hours that i am pretty happy with, and then the unfortunate happened: The painting was ruined by the SF rain~!! :S It's pretty much defaced and this blurry shot is the best i got of it(Thanks R).

If any of the Massive Black workshopers have better pictures of the painting, please send them to:

info@eidolonfinearts.com

It will be greatly appreciated! :D Have a nice weekend and stay away from the rain~!

Paint~

I had a lot of fun painting this one: Trying hard to capture the cool light from the window that fades away within the first 2 hours of the pose~


A wip for the upcoming Gallery Nucleus show "Dragons". I had in mind to paint a girl with dragon upper body and human legs, but now the dragon turn into a scarf of sort~ :S


I will also be participating in the Concpetart.org SF workshop in November~! I will be on hand to do traditional oil painting demo, and answer portfolio questions! Hope to see you there!

Ron Paul Campaign 2012~!

I did this after work tonite for Ron Paul's 2012 Presidential Campaign. I will probably do some changes later when i see it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

I have found him an inspiration, a politician that i can actually understand and agree with most of the time, and i will definitely vote for him again. I hope many of you feel the same way too.

Getting back into life painting~

(8 hours, oil on Mylar pasted on board)

I am beginning to paint figures weekly again. Starting is hard, but it's so much fun once i get going that it's hard to imagine why i ever stopped. :D Getting back into Landscape painting again, too, now that the weather is nice. Will share once i have more.

Best,

Amazing Artist: Nicolas Samori

UPDATE: A beautiful on line catalogue of his art could be found here.

It's awesome to find someone else's art that resonates with me. A great moment, as if my soul's saying to me: "See, here's another soul, underneath it all, made just like me".
