Completed Works (August-November)

            Here is the first of the portrait series that I began. 

I began with bold colors as a smooth stroke which I later 

broke down through the weeks.

                                                     This was the second portrait that I began which I chose

                                                 to move more boldly with color and stroke. Overall I believe

                                                 that this one was not as successful as the first but moved me in

                                                 a better direction further away from photo realism style painting,

                                                 which I was avoiding in the first place.

           This painting is the last of the portrait series

 that I was working on the past couple of months.

 Once again it has an exaggerated use of color and

 the brush style has also moved from long streaks to

 a quicker dabbing motion.My technique is still not

 quite where I want it to be but I believe that I am

 still moving in the right direction.

                                                              This last piece is an abstract work that I have been

                                                        working on over the past couple of months. This is not

                                                       my first attempt at a purely abstract work but it is the

                                                       first time that I have dedicated an entire month to an

                                                       abstract work. This work has gone through many 

                                                       renditions and have accumulated many layers of paint

                                                       to get to this point. I believe, though, that this turned

                                                       into a successful work.

           

      These are the paintings that I worked on over the past couple months. This blog will take a short break while I gather supplies but in the next couple of weeks I will show you the process of my work as I paint it.

Starting the Blog

Here is the beginning of Scott Rowenczak's art blog. I have been painting for a while and I believe that it is about time that I started my blog. I think that the new year is the perfect time for me to begin my new work. I will continuously update this blog depending upon what I am working on at the time. I will post pictures of my work space, works in progress and of course finished products.
    For the moment I will only have works that I have already completed while I restock my supplies. In the next post I will post what I have completed over the past couple of months. I hope you enjoy the blog, and if you wish to purchase any completed work just send me an email at: serowenczak@gmail.com
