Reproductions here are not great, colour and tone are all wrong.
Always find it a pain to try and photograph oil paintings accurately.
This is one of my sister sarah called
"Don't take me from my bubble".
It's a smaller painting than I would usually do.
pretty amazing stuff there mate, blown away by how much work you put in them. Tell me how big did you paint them?
ReplyDeleteall the best as always
Cheers mate.
ReplyDeleteThe top one is 80x120cm and the one of my sister is 40x60cm.
Nothing too mad but I've just started work on somethin 190x170cm which i'm pretty excited about.
Hope all is good with you.

Hi Shane, great work. How long did it take you to paint the large painting? Any chance you'll take photos at different stages? I would love to see your painting process. Your work is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteamazing stuff shane love the self portrait, i was really surprised, i always tought you would have a hairy chest i suppose the beard led me into thinking that way anyways all the best
ReplyDeleteHa ha stephen mate ...... yeah I'm a hairless wonder!
ReplyDeleteBeard is just a fake, I wear it to help try cultivate this artistic persona.
Good to hear from you pal, should all try catch up for a beer again some time soon. Take it easy.

Hey Shane thanks! those paintings look great!I love that rose colour in the skin tone. Yeah im into Conor Harringtons work, it has a beautiful balance of detailed figurative elements and abstraction. Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteYour work is really terrific! I haven't been here for a while and it is great to see the new images. Sorry to read about your mishaps last year...I hope you've kept the canvases anyway.
ReplyDeleteCheers Uli, yeah last year was a pain but I'm flying again now working towards my first solo show penciled in for 2012.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your back always love checking out your blog.

hey shane, thanks for droppin by my page! I checked out that Alex Kanevsky guy....amazing..i love the movement in his paintings. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYour stuff is brilliant and I especially love the emotion demonstrated in your pieces which is why i have decided to use it as inspiration for my A level art project as my contextual aspect... seen your "In this Place" in the RUA exhibition and it was my favourite piece... So thank you! Becka.
ReplyDeleteHey Becka, glad to hear you like the work. You just cheered me up a bit today with your comment so thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your project !

Hey, I saw 'In This Place' in the RUA art exhibition, it was my favourite there. I really love the mood created in the painting and the colours used, I could go on, but I'm actually using it for a critical and contextual homework, which has to be in tommorrow, haha. So I have to finish it off, but great work! I love the one of your sister also(:
ReplyDelete(And is the first one a self portrait?)
Hey Katy, thanks for that. Always good to hear someone likes my work! Yeah the RUA one is a self portrait. I know ....I need to start eating more. ha. Hope you got your homework done in time.
ReplyDeleteAll the best

Man I just want to say that you unbelievable. You have an great talent. And i cant wait to find some time and have a go at a similar style to yours, but just not as good obviously haha. Seen your work at the RUA and since then have been amazed by all of your work. Any new pieces coming out soon ?
ReplyDeleteWanted to say that im planning on using you in my A level art dissertation and if thats ok with you and if so could you give me some answers to some questions ? just simple stuff like your influences, general times spent on a piece of work, Why you chose your poses ect.
Thanks for that, glad you like the work. Yeah of course mate thats no problem at all. Just email me any questions that you have to shaneblountbray@yahoo.co.uk. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteIf there is anything else I can do to help you out just let me know.
All the best.
