Nice! You handled the chrome and highlights beautifully. Makes me want to go build something :)
I agree with the other comment, you did well... But you might start thinking about why you're making paintings.
Are you just painting these things to showcase the fact that you can?
If that's all you're after, carry on.
But I suspect you mean to be doing more than that... I would encourage you to think about your subjects a little more...
Great comment anonymous, now we're talkin'! I was really hoping for some public feedback about my work. I've been writing a little blurb, that I'll add to the blog sidebar soon that I'm hoping will encourage people to speak their minds about my paintings. I want to hear all thoughts good or bad, but especially real critical observations. I know this requires a little mental strain, but wouldn't it be great to spend a little time away from the easel to critique and discuss ideas thoughtfully with other intelligent people? Again, thank you for the comment, please return often, I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
Maybe you know a few friends you could invite to get a little "critique session" going. I am truly interested in hearing all public responses to my paintings, this is a large piece of why I began this blog. Dustin
Any subject, beautifully painted, is a worthwhile endeavour. When you can take a mundane thing like a tape measure, and turn it into a great piece of art...that's art!
Anonymous has a point though...
Too much emphasis on the slickness of the product text, which takes away from the form.
I've never felt strong in my ability to down play areas, especially in an area at or near the center of interest. I "see" too much. I struggle with finding ways to paint things in a generalized way. I keep telling myself, "keep things loose and only add details if necessary". I also think to myself, "set up the paint (an area of the painting) for a "moment"(a nice stroke)" or, prepare the area for the stroke that really matters. Does this make sense? It's hard to verbalize. Maybe you have some thoughts. Dustin
I forgot to add this to the above comment---> I say these things to my self, but it doesn't mean I accomplish them. I often get lost in details. Dustin
Hmmmmm..... I have that SAME Tape Measure. Mine is Blue.
