Reflective Infoxication' Silverleaf Nude Figurative Oil Painting by Jacqueline Gomez

'Reflective Infoxication' / Oil and Gilded Silverleaf on Canvasboard / 24 x 17 Inches

If you're like me, carving out space for deep contemplation is a challenge, while the quick fix to quench our insatiable evolutionary desire to learn is ever within a few clicks.
It's a privilege we as a species have yet to have evolved to handle efficiently and at the risk of our minds turning into shallow puddles of frivolous twitterings, find ourselves having to adapt to a new way of being, between mindfulness and the overload of info we seemingly deem so vital to our survival..

Child of Mars' Gold Gilded Oil painting by Jacqueline Gomez of Nude Female Figurative Artwork

'Child of Mars' / Oil with Gold Metal Leaf Gilding / 7.3 x 5.1 Inches

SOLD

Howdy Folks!,.. 'Child of Mars' has finally got its final coat of nice glossy satin varnish!.

I loved experimenting with simultaneous warm and cool lighting effects on the model in this piece, and the composition was somewhat inspired by Euan Uglow's symmetrical minimalist figurative paintings..

Geometric repetition with the figure and throughout the composition was used to create harmony and balance, and I strived to create a tactile and exciting piece with the textured surface and by contrasting flat hues with the high realism of the woman's figure..

Available for collection at 'Child of Mars'

This piece is also available as an archival giclee print !

Hidy ho guys.
So if you've been following updates on my 'On the Easel..' page, you'll already be familiar with this little piece, done as a preliminary study for the larger oil I'm currently working on.

Painted on texturally primed canvas, this piece gave me the opportunity to work out design elements I was thinking of adding (the contour crosshatched lines on the figure etc.) as well as solidify the palette I would be using for the larger painting.

Available reproduced as Archival Giclee Fine Art Prints for any artlovers who may be interested, in my Etsy store at

Hi guys! So with a touch of trepidation I got back to this piece and I'm pretty happy it's turned out just as envisioned!.. The nature of this piece I feel lends itself to personal interpretation so I shy away from clarifying my own inspiration as I would like each observer to find meaning in it for themselves, independent of my own conceptual vision.

'Zen Dog' Handpulled Limited Edition Prints With Silverleaf!!

1/20/2019

0 Comments

Hiya folks!,.. It's been a while hasn't it!. I'm coming out of a difficult year after caring for my dad through his last few months and long slow deterioration. There are no words to describe how it feels to see a loved one go thus... We miss him everyday now even though he had long been a shadow of himself.

Anyways, art has always pulled me through difficult times and I was working on this little print during his final days. I did one set with goldleaf for some artist friends (12 editions) and this set (below in only 8 editions) with silverleaf. I hadn't done any printmaking since my college days so I kept it simple.

'Zen Dog' Silverleaf V / Limited Edition Linocut Printmaking Print by Jacqueline Gomez

'Zen Dog' Variable Limited Edition Linocut Print Gilded with Silver Metal Leaf (Only 8 editions) on Japanese Rice Paper / Size: 3.5 x 3.65 Inches

This is the first time I've tried gilding a handpulled print and it's a bit tricky to do so, as each piece is supposed to be as identical as possible ( this is a mark of a good printmaker). To get the gilding pattern of each print as close as possible I used a stencil to apply the gilding paste and then continued with the gilding process as usual.
I wanted the silverleaf to be protected though, so a layer of Artist Varnish was applied just to the leaf alone.

These prints have only just been made available on Artfinder so if you're interested in adding one to your collection pop on by - 'Zen Dog' Silverleaf V/E Print .
Do drop me a message if you have any questions!

Thanks for dropping by!!

'Midnight Stars' GoldLeaf Gilded Oil painting by Jacqueline Gomez

'Midnight Stars' / Oil & Gold Metal Leaf on Canvas / Size: 6.7" x 11.7"

SOLD

Hiya folks! So 'Midnight Stars has finally been varnished with a lovely beeswax satin finish which really suits the raw canvas base of the painting.
It's also been flipped here (I think it looks great either way though how it is finally displayed will ultimately be up to the final collector).

There were quite a few twists and turns in its creation and if you're interested in reading more regarding that journey check out its WIP on my blog at 'Midnight Stars WIP'!

Had to say adieu to this one today. I was surprisingly sadder than usual to see a piece go. I was quite pleased at successfully achieving just the exact glowing emerald hue I had envisioned for the snake and this was also my first attempt at trying a new crosshatching technique with the oil paint too.. Despite this I could not feel more blessed with whom she is on her way to right now!.. Thank you so much for making a home for two!.. :)

I've been testing out different colour palettes for my figurative work lately 'Twilight' being the latest. I quite like the prussian blue based hues in this one, especially how well it plays off the complementary raw umber in the background.
