Darren Daz Cox, now in Pekin Illinois!
Big and Small Work for the new year!Oil paintings colored pencils canvas girls charcoal
The bottom one has painters tape separating areas where i have two abstract oil paintings working. one suggests day the other night. In addition to the painters tape there is an organic border I painted on with liquid rubber to separate the abstract from the frame that will have gold leaf! right now the only thought I have for the big one is blue oil paint and gold leaf! Two luscious things!
The lady attacking the serpent is oil paints on canvas too (that one is 24×36 in). ooh i forgot to paint the middle pool red! I think I’ll do that now!
this is a detail of the lower middle on another huge 36×48 canvas! (no painter tape or liquid latex on this one yet!) I have always loved the cupids (putti) that are used as decoration in Renaissance and Baroque (etc) artwork, as well as the overwhelming complex details and colors you can see in the Rococo and so this is the idea I have in my mind at this moment while I randomly add angels and animals around the huge heart shape that fills the canvas!
I started with random charcoal sketching and smudging, then grease pencil over the charcoal, then white oil paint. This is similar to how many artists of the Baroque worked (they’d have the painting done in shades of grey then put color in oil glazes over that etc), anyway it’s kind of a slow process but once the color is applied (probably weeks from now) it really pops out and will last for centuries or longer! That’s a lot of love generated from my random doodling!
and the one below I used for the icon on the Flickr group I admin called Art using the female figure it’s a quality group focused on a specific theme.

it’s a tiny canvas ,4×5 inches. I’ll be adding some layers of oil glazes over these colored pencils and pastels which look too grainy when you draw directly onto canvas!
just something random I drew, my sense of anatomy isn’t 100% accurate but who needs accuracy in art anyway? it is a nice ‘mannerist’ pose!
