"Wino" is an original, signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold. We have all known someone who has struggled with addiction in their lives. It's interesting to note that lives can be changed by a substance advertised in our local media and peddled at convenience stores.

"Boys on Beach" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. I love visiting the beach, listening to the ocean, seeing the awesome power of the sea and occasionally digging in the sand or just feeling it between your toes.

"Philodendrons" is an original, signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold. These resilient plants grow just about anywhere. This one, located on the edge of our property, guards the thicket of woods on the lot next door. The painting was done en plein air.

"Miss Pierce" is an original, signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold. The painting includes the frame as it adds to the rustic feel of the piece. The subject is from a photo by one of the photographers at my newspaper. It is of an actual fishing boat in Homosassa, Florida. The canvas was prepared using strips of cloth, thread and wood to create texture.

"Daytona Beach" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. I took the reference photos for this abstraction of Atlantic Avenue in Daytona Beach while on vacation there in May 2008. Daytona is an interesting town. On the west side of Atlantic, the buildings are single story built in the art deco style of the time they were created before high-rise hotels blocked the view of the ocean.

"Man in Blue, Green and Yellow" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. My inspiration for this painting came from a series of sketches I made in my figure drawing class. This particular subject posed in various "moody" setups and I decided to recreate the sketches into a pop art painting.

"Girl on Beach" is an original, signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold. This is another painting with my wife as the subject. I created this paint by mixing the colors right on the canvas spreading them about using various size palette knives. My wife was painted in using a brush. I love the way the thick application of paint adds to the depth and vibrancy of the painting.

"Life One" is an original, signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold. I don't pretend to know or understand how life formed around us; whether through spontaneous generation, omne vivum ex ovo (everything living from an egg) or intelligent design. My painting, in fact, could be interpreted as all three; I'll leave that to the viewer to decide. Instead, I'll talk about how I created "Life One." First I picked a focal point and began drawing random diagonals through the focal point. Once I had covered the canvas in diagonals, I alternately painted the spaces formed by the diagonals in watered down magenta and green. I chose those two colors because I felt they would recede and make the yellows, oranges and reds pop more once they were painted over them. Then using a white colored pencil I freehand sketched the approximation of the Fibonacci Spiral beginning at the focal point. I then began drawing amorphous shapes following the outline of the spiral. Once the drawing was complete I began painting in two shades of yellows, two shades of oranges and a shade of red. I chose their placement by feel with no real plan of where each color would end up. I built up a half dozen layers of paint through glazes before mixing thicker layers of paint to create the shadows and highlights for the shapes.<br><img src='http://www.artq.net/artImages/19/JGDJ542163645523429.jpg'><br>]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA["Strawberry Fields" original signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold]]></title><link>http://www.artq.net/ArtView.asp?artwork_id=ASAM54216241164524020</link><description><![CDATA[2008 Acrylic on canvas 36x24

"Two Roses" is an original, signed acrylic painting on canvas by artist Michael Arnold. Roses are another favorite subject of mine. These are two roses from my wife's rose bushes I sketched one morning. I then combined them into a single painting.

"She's Got Legs" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. My wife appears as the subject in another one of my paintings. This is another pop art inspired painting.

"Rock Through the Ages" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. I wanted to paint a picture of some of my favorite musicians. The painting evolved in sketches over several months before I began the painting. However, once I started the painting I changed course several times over the six months it took to complete it. Many of the musicians I wanted to include had to be left out. This subject begs for a series. The musicians, from top left, are: Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Elvis, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Michael Stipe, Alanis Morrisette, Jim Morrison, AC/DC, Billy Joel, Chuck Berry, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Mick Jagger, The Eagles, Bob Seger, Sheryl Crow, Neil Young, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton Tom Petty, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and Lucinda Williams.

"Girl in Brown and Gold" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a
gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. I like painting people with interesting faces or in an unusual context. The young girl in this painting looks a bit apprehensive as she glances over her shoulder while embarking on her journey, which looks ominous. The road that leads to where? We don't know.
The dead tree? Is it that death awaits at the end of the journey?

"Stipe Three" is an original, signed acrylic painting on a gallery-wrapped canvas by artist Michael Arnold. This is the third painting in my Michael Stipe series. I painted the background using a painting knife loaded with modeling paste and a mix of yellow oxide, cadmium yellow medium and buff titanium. I placed lines of red oxide, permanent green light and phthalocyanine blue side by side to build up the various tones for the portrait. I used touches of cadmium yellow light and medium to add some highlights and finished it off with pure yellow oxide to punch up the neutral tones.
