I nice studio visit from Thee @paulmarciano 😜😜😜🎨🎨🎨🐻🐻🐻

I have mention this before, normally in private conversations, that one of the most driving forces for my desire to paint is simply for the beauty of oil paint itself. 1: The immense beauty of the colors/pigments and 2: the dynamic, “alive-ness” of the textures/brushstroke... These are 2 MAJOR examples of qualities of oil paint that I am forever grateful to be... in the presence of their beauty and being present to explore their creation through the process of painting... I am very very fortunate to be doing this for a living :) with all that said, this piece is quite simply an ode to these 2 beautiful qualities of oil paint :) This one is 100% see-it-in-person however, I couldn’t resist... I had to share 😜😜😜🎨🎨🎨 “sugar” oil on panel, 48”x48”

It’s nice to be in good places with good company @robinfrancescawilliams and @nicolasparty 😜😜😜 “Meddle” oil on canvas, 84”x60”... the first piece in a series that all my creative energy is pulling me towards! 🎨🎨🎨 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #spaces #abstractart

🎨🎨🎨 “Polka Dot Window Study” oil on panel, 20”x16” One of the best pieces of art advice I have EVER Heard was from one of my favorites, George Condo... I am paraphrasing here however he said that he, “sets a tempo to a painting” and allows that tempo to carry him through to the completion of the piece. I can, and have spent 100’s of hours on paintings however I think there is a real beauty to following a tempo and allowing to piece to happen in the moment without overthinking or over working. Now, coming from a very “traditional” oil painter... this is a mental skill which is very very difficult to acquire however, between you and I, I think I am really getting the hang of it! 😜😜😜 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #spaces

🙃🎨🐻 Sometime I don’t know where I am going, But, “I” Know where i am going!!!... 😜😜😜 I know I have spoken about this “subconscious-mindset painting” a million times However... It is the path in art that greatly intrigues me AND, I believe, makes for some of the most interesting works!... plus I am about to go see a Philip Guston show 😜😜😜 a master at this “technique”!

🎨🎨🎨 “Orbit” oil on panel, 48”x48” I cannot now put words to this painting... I may never be able to however... just know that it was created through feeling to evoke a feeling. I don’t mean to put it so simply that it marginalizes this idea because I truly believe that this “evoked feeling” is the pure essences of art. The true power of a painting, at its core, is how it makes you feel. Next time you are looking at a painting, don’t just look, trying feeling. 😜🎨🙃 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #spaces
