Link to Nashville Arts Video
Friday September 3rd, 2010
No photo today (although I do have some new work to come online next week). Instead, here’s a link to a new video I did for Nashville Arts magazine. It turned out pretty well, but I don’t think I’ll try acting. http://nashvillearts.com/2010/09/02/value-study-with-john-cannon-online-video/ jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Last of the Portraits Almost Done
Thursday September 2nd, 2010
This is almost done; just need input from my client. This is the last one for him, and pretty much covers the family. I have certainly enjoyed doing them. I learned a lot about faces in the process. If you have portrait needs, human or pet, contact me. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
New Abstract Skyscape
Wednesday September 1st, 2010
Here’s a little piece I worked on Monday that is looking pretty cool. It’s a loose, abtracted skyscape with water. Very loose and suggestive. It’s one of those you could look at and find all kinds of stuff in it. Come by and see it. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Progress on The Final Portrait
Tuesday August 31st, 2010
I had posted the raw first layer a week or so ago. Here’s the second session with this piece. He’s taking form pretty well. She’s starting to work. I still need to complete details and maybe adjust the skin tones a little bit. Oh, and a background. It’s making progress, though. More later. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Another Portrait Done
Monday August 30th, 2010
Here’s another portrait done. This one seemed to work out pretty well. It was an interesting positioning of the heads, with two different planes for the pose. That made for a challenge on getting the features correct, but I think I got them pretty well. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Another Portrait Finished
Friday August 27th, 2010
Here’s another portrait finished. I’ve been working on these non stop, so it’s nice to see them getting to completion, and hopefully satisfactory. Now on to a couple more. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Family Portrait About Finished
Thursday August 26th, 2010
Except for input from my client, this one is done. By the way, this is a terrible photo. There was a glare I could not get rid of when I was shooting it. Anyway, I think this may get the image across of the family and grandmother there as a spirit watching over them. My client will have the final word, of course. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
“Iris at the Fence”
Wednesday August 25th, 2010
Been a good two days off, although I think I worked harder getting all the things done I needed to do than I would have at the studio. Anyway, back to work today. Here’s a nice piece I have called “Iris at the Fence.” It’s a nice little piece, a 12×16 in a nice frame that makes a pleasant landscape/floral piece. Come by and see it, since I’ll be back today. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
“Haybales” - Kind of Feels Like Fall This Morning
Tuesday August 24th, 2010
Here’s one I still have, although it is currently hanging across the hall at Mark Casserly Woodworking. It’s finally cool this morning, and starting to feel like fall. (I know, it will still be hot later; just being hopeful) So I thought this would be nice. Come by and see it. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
Getting Color in the Family Portrait
Monday August 23rd, 2010
I’ve been working on this one. It’s three generations of the family together. The grandmother is in monochrome for a sylistic reason and because the reference photo is in black and white. They are turning out pretty well. I should get this one finished this week. More later. jcannon1@bellsouth.net
