In ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=843 In my studio at this very moment sit several several blank canvasses, newly stretched, primed and ready for a little paint.  Of these, three in particular are of interest for the purposes of this post, and I'll tell you why.   All three will be figure paintings for which I ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=841 Yet again I have let far too much time pass by between blog updates, and there is a lot of new news to post.  Most excitingly, at least for me, I have just moved into a new studio space in Downtown Salt Lake City.  For the past six years I ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=831 Admittedly, it's been quite a while since I have posted anything new in part because I have been working on a commission piece that I can't yet post images of.  But that particular project is finished.  I have a couple of new figure paintings in the works which deserve their own ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=828 The painting of Young Icarus is all but finished.  There are always a number of minor touch-ups and tweaks that take place in the final days of a painting's progress, but they are usually subtle enough that they would go un-noticed in a digital photo.   So, until I can get a professional photographer ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=822 Yes, it's toga time here again in the studio.  This time my model was actually in cosume for the photo shoot, which made things considerably easier on me.  One might expect that Asher running around in a tiny sheet at the neighborhood park in 50 degree weather (he earned his ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=820 I blocked in the winged figurine the young Icarus is flying today.  I'm temporarily satisfied with the way it turned out.  Once the rest of the figure is complete, I may reevaluate.  Stay tuned.... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=817 More progress on the young Icarus' abs: Asher tells me he doesn't even work out.   How is that fair? http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=815 I finally got around to finishing the rock.  This may actually be my first somewhat accurate painting of a specific rock...a portrait of sorts.  So, next time you're hanging around Reservoir Park in Salt Lake and you come across a largish rock in the middle of the playground and think to ... http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=812 Need I say more?   http://www.bryanlarsenfineart.com/wordpress/?p=810
