Art by Philip Brink focused on naturalism style oil painting. Subject matter tends toward historical sites, scientific concepts, and human experience.
Well, I think it is finished. Enjoy!

Timelapse for "Perspectives" 20" x 30" Oil on CanvasWhat would a teddy bear paint? Working through the painting, I couldn't seem to answer that question, until the last couple painting ...
Started a time-lapse video for a nearly finished painting...I forgot how long it takes to chop down 45 hours of recorded videos to 8.5 minutes. 5 hours later, I am all caught up and ready for the last painting session at least.
Note that this is not complete. But, the changes made are pretty obvious compared to the previous post. Just some work on the paint tubes and then something special for the central 'canvas'.
Something artists don't post, but think about constantly..."why doesn't this look right?". Real work is done without a brush.
Working on something a 'little' different than my usual. Nowhere near done, but I think the idea is fairly obvious now.
Niagara Falls occasionally becomes more impressive (there is a double rainbow in there as well)
I think its about ready for color layers.
Underpainting for the bears is about ready to go. Pretty sure the idea is coming through now...
Back to work...sling that paint...good boy.
Just a quick preview of a print I will be selling in Brampton's Farmer's Market in September...
Probably makes a little more sense like this: Just a first layer of underpainting with they grayscale areas...but its a start.
Finally getting back to painting...not anywhere complete, but progress it is.
Playing with lenses at sunset around Niagara can be rather fun.
Been in a bit of a down period in painting unfortunately. But, I taught the first session of a workshop for veterans on Cavarts.org.
Topic is using tech to assist the painting process. Covers historical use of tech by artist and attempts to modernize those ideas for today's artists. Composition, recording, real-time comparison via cameras, etc. Hopefully everyone walked away with something they can use. Next session will be a bit more techie, so will be hard to explain to non-tech people.
If you are a veteran and an artist...can't recommend Cavarts.org enough.
There we go...finally getting this camera to final image process worked out. This new lens is outstanding!
Little touch of varnish really brings out the color.
Session 21 done...another 10 to 15 more to go.
Dug through 18 hours of video and put together a time-lapse of this cute bear being painted. Enjoy!

Time-Lapse: Fuzzy Bear #2 Fuzzy Bear #2 Oil on 21.5"x20" Aluminum PanelSometimes cute is worthy of a traditional style of painting. Total time was about 18 hours over 7 painting sess...
Plunking away on the midground trees and bushes. Been a while since putting time into this painting. Nice to see it changing instead of leaning against a wall.
He finished it:
Not sure I will call it finished...but its pretty close.
Making progress...2 layers of color down and 1 or 2 more layers needed to finish it off.
Just a small upgrade in video quality... The old camera would have made that background mostly black.
Work in progress... but the basic idea is there. Enjoy:
(these stuffed animals are too fun to paint. no idea why)
Started a new painting and used the new camera as a video recorder. Quite shocking the difference between the camcorder and the new camera. The old one would have made the varied dark browns look black. I am looking forward to editing the video when the painting is done.
