New Tiger Print

New canvas prints on Modern Wallz. The tiger print is stunning in person – the colors really pop. Plus, I love the abstract quality to the print. Often, people don’t see the tiger right away, but think it’s an abstract print. Then, they see the tiger “hiding” in the canvas.

Featured Canvas Print: Fragile Beauty

This print was my very first sale for Modern Wallz and has a special place because of that. I almost didn’t post this one in the store. It’s hard as an artist to have an honest perspective on your own work. Ninety percent of the time an artist’s favorite work is never the “commercially successful” work. We fall in love with a particular piece and have a response to it that is so personal, that most people don’t know about. I guess that’s one of the reasons why the public loves to hear the thoughts behind a particular work of art – from the artist’s own mouth.

As I said, I almost canned this print, I wasn’t sure that it would be well received by others. I know I liked it, it was actually my wife that said I should use it. I think this one is her favorites. I love the imperfections on the petals, the rough background. I think it’s the juxtaposition of these elements, and the nice orange background that make this work for me. The title is a good fit too: Fragile Beauty.

I am announcing my latest canvas art prints to Modern Wallz: Juliet, Punkfish, and Autumn Fields. All three of these prints are reproductions from my fine art oil paintings. You can see more of my fine art paintings at bengrace.com. I will be offering more reprints from bengrace.com in the future. These paintings are from my true love - oil painting. I love the way oil paints flow across the canvas. Acrylics have their place too, but they are just not a sumptuous as oils.

Juliet is one of my favorite paintings. I love the glow that leaps off the surface of the water. Mostly, I love the feeling I get from it, cool water flowing over my head as I effortlessly glide through the water. Not a care in the world. I can’t wait for summer again! She is part of a continuing series of swimmers.

Punkfish is often a crowd favorite at shows. If you look closely you can see the wood grain showing through and the tattoo on the fish on the left (it says ”Nemo”). The fish on the right has a mohawk and nose ring. I had some fun with this one.

Autumn Fields was just a good time to paint. I had a great time with it –  playing with large brush strokes. Can you tell what it is? It’s a view from above of green fields, broken up by the crisscross of autumn trees. I love playing with abstraction. This painting looks like an abstract painting, but yet it is “something”.

Let me know what you think of my work. Artists always (mostly, haha) love to hear what people think of their work.
