🐻🐻🐻 I love the entire process of painting however, admittedly, I Really love to sit back and appreciate the final, completed piece... I am very proud of this one 😜😜😜🐻🐻🐻🎨🎨🎨 oil on panel, 72”x120” (183cm x 305cm) All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals #teddybear

🐻🐻🐻 “Brushes” oil on panel, 24”x24” (61cm x 61cm). I find a really beauty in simplicity. One of my driving factors lately is to do More with less!... there is an Excellent quote from Monet about this however I cannot find it 😕 Anyhow... I really tried to empathize everything about the brushstroke to create this piece: the direction of the movement, the amount and placement of oil on the brush, the specific brush, the layer in which the brushstroke lies, origin and destination, speed of the brushstroke, tapering or extending, shape, continuity, etc... I guess when i write it out I realize that it is way more complex than I thought! 😜😜😜 However, overtime all these above factors become part of the subconscious and, although very complex to reach this point of complete familiarity, very simple to execute. Much MUCH more to come!!! All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals #teddybear

🐻🙃🎨 “Grab Bag” oil on canvas, 72”x54” They say that if you feel nervous or uncomfortable about doing something then there is a good chance this will lead to your greatest growth. Personally, this piece was a massive step out of my comfort zone in conjunction with a massive step down the path, I believe, is the path of my favorite master painters... the Picasso’s , Condo’s and the like. This piece started simply as a blank canvas with no preconceived notion of what the final piece should be... I just let the painting happen... more details later 😜😜😜 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals

🐻🐻🐻 Almost finished!!! 😜😜😜 I have been working on this piece for the past month virtually 7 days a week from 9-8ish nonstop. I don’t often paint this much however I wanted to be extremely focused during this piece for the sake of the continuity of the entire painting... keeping the same rhythm throughout. Although this is very mentally intensive I am VERY happy with how the painting is turning out... the juice is definitely worth the squeeze 😜😜😜 oil, a TON of it, on birch panel, 72”x120” All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals #teddybear

🙃🐻🎨 “mixed up” oil on panel, 18”x24” Something I never fathomed was how difficult it is to paint in the subconscious and in-the-moment. I spent the past 14 years learning the “traditional rules” of painting and over the past ~year I have been attempting to break them and paint more freely. Personally, I finally feel that I have began to grasp this mindset... I truly believe that the most masterful painters (Picasso, Condo, Guston, etc...) are masters of this mindset. I have a long way to go however I see the other 😜😜😜 All enquires please email ✉️ info@jameswrightgallery.com ✉️ www.brentestabrook.com | #brentestabrook #art #jameswrightgallery #oilpainting #stuffedanimals
