UPDATE

Okay, last night was a long one as I work some more on the commission's I need to complete and ship out at the end of next month.

Spent 2.5 hours straight last night working on part of the first painting. I am using oil paints and if you're not familiar with oil paint, they take FOREVER to dry...which -depending upon who you are- can be a good thing. To me it is a good thing! :)

I was a bit discouraged at first as I just wanted to go in there and finish the painting bada bing, bada boom... I forgot that it takes time to achieve a certain level of expectations and patience is a virtue... especially while working with oil paints.

As last night shows, taking the time and putting in the effort really pays off and I am truly happy with the way things are going.

While I wait for this painting to dry I am working on several other projects and creating more t-shirts!!!

If you need some new threads for the summer check out the shirts on the previous post or you can visit my Facebook page as I haven't uploaded them to the web site yet.



You can send me a message as well @ moonart.design@gmail.com



Cheers!

Inspiration

This morning was one of those mornings; you know the ones I am talking about don't you? The mornings when you wake up and the sun is as bright as it can be... and then it gets just a bit brighter. It started out pink and moved on to a fiery orange. Birds flying around and the sounds are around are all making sense as if they were suppose to be making those sounds. Seagulls relaxing in the lake while I take my first sip of the morning sun. Now that feels good! :)

Today was one of those days. I haven't been snapping too many pictures lately (with the exception of this past weekend. But today I was really in the mood to head down to the lake and take a few before work. I always wish I could have gone down earlier than I had, but I need to rest the eyes when I can.

It was one of those days where you can drop everything and go create! I had to go to work, fortunately I am a Graphic Artist and I can create! :) If you would like to see more of my photos please visit my flickr account.

In other news, I am working on a new web site which I am hoping to have up and running before or just after the new year. I will keep you informed on that.

I just uploaded two new paintings to zazzle.com where you can purchase posters of my (Jerry Garcia) painting and the (Colour of Music I) painting.

Other than that the holiday time has come... Christmas is almost here! I have a surprise I have been working on and they should be ready in time for Xmas.

I have some t-shirts hanging in the Bridgewater Gallery in Bridgewater, MA along with some eco friendly prints and some bookmarks.

If you have the chance are in the area please check Candace's shop out! It's a great place and she's at a new location!!

Cheers!

October is HERE!

Okay, okay, gather 'round now. I have something to tell you all about. October is a great month! I said it, BAM! It's out there, all of you now know.

I love the Autumn. It's sometimes warm during the day and brisk at night. I love walking around and seeing all the beautiful colors the world has to offer each year! October starts tomorrow and the colors are already brilliant!

My birthday is also this month so my opinion might be slightly slanted. Halloween, who doesn't like to dress up and get a little wacky!? A lot of wacky? Okay freakin' crazy!! :)

What do Bridgewater, MA, Art, ME and October have in common? Psssh, everything! I will have two paintings hanging in a gallery in Bridgewater, MA for the month of October! Still following, keeping up? Should I slow down? Are you still reading?

Go check out the gallery at (232 Broad St. Bridgewater, MA) and let Candace know I sent you!!

The reception will be on Oct. 24th from 6PM-9PM. Be there or be....yaaa whatever, just be there!! There will be food, wine, music from Brian Mooney (yes, he is my brother), good vibes and 9 talented artists!

Should be a great time! Later on Railroad Earth are playing in Boston at the Paradise Rock Club! Go see them they kick ass!

Talk to you soon. Enjoy the art and weather!

Cheers!

Art In The Park!!! Sat. 9/5-Sun. 9/6 10am -4pm

Okay this will probably be the last post prior to ART IN THE PARK this weekend! I promise. I don't have a cell phone with internet access so I won't be mobile updating. But my mom does so she might. :) Just kidding.

On a serious note, get your butts to Keene and support the arts!!! I will be at tent 32 having a good time, drawing and conversing with all who wonder. Come by, have some snacks and look at a bunch of cool art.

I am adding another piece of art that I hope you will enjoy. This painting is called "The Mountain Life 2"

Alright, I have a bunch more to do before Saturday. Have a good night and a great long weekend everybody.

Cheers!

Almost There.

Well it's been a week since I started taken the antibiotic for the strep throat I have. Although I am still feeling it, I am feeling a lot better. I haven't been creating a whole lot of art, however, I have been doing a ton of designing. While putting in a solid 8 hours of designing and printing at work, I am working on a logo and a web site for a client outside of work. Needless to say, I have been pretty wiped and my eyes are in dire need of some rest. I will post some information and web link once I have something uploaded.

I am going to try to finish up some paintings and maybe some drawings on Sunday when I get back from MA this weekend.

I'm tired. I'm going to get some rest. The Bruins are playing the Hurricanes on Friday night. Check it out.

Peace

Finally back at!

After about a solid 16 days off, I was finally able to stumble back in the studio. Which was a huge relief because I have been "trying" to get back in there. Once I managed to get setup I painted for about 4 hours! I worked on 7 pieces that have been on going for a while now.

Painting in oils can be quite cumbersome, however, I love to use them. I have been trying to make the switch over to acrylics but it's just not that easy. Someday I will give acrylic paint another go. I am not sure when that time will come for I am far to involved with my oil paints.

In other unrelated news, I am heading to Boston this weekend! This should be a good time. Boston is always a lot of fun, expensive but fun. I am going to try and keep the cost down this time around. 

Have a good weekend and be kind to each other.
