Collector Zone _ Show and Tell _ I appreciate decoy's

Posted by: ty4orce Oct 12 2012, 02:00 PM

Figured I would re-title this thread and make it a little more interesting ....I will update more decoy art as I make them ....why I make decoy art so as not to waste paint...lol...I work on many bigger pieces and there is always left over paint as in not to waste I create little pieces of art ..decoy art where I do them real fast on most occasions and with a lot of texture as I use a knife as my painting tool...
the card on the right is of my niece she really freaked when I showed her it and will be coming to get it...lol
comments are always welcomed

Nice decoys, you should sell them to Panini and UD to repackage. laugh.gif

I am so glad I talked you into showing us your handywork!

Posted by: ty4orce Oct 13 2012, 05:34 PM

Thanks for all the kind words .....makes me feel good that you all enjoy them....I coat the fronts with a gloss or flat varnish and sides it also protects against U.V. and discoloration..here is how I do the backs mostly quick scenery's or just clouds because there quick....I use a brush for the backs I apply the paint then look to see what I can see in this one I title it save the whale.........

Posted by: ty4orce Oct 13 2012, 06:53 PM

was a little on the lazy side today so from doing the hair on the bigger piece I left it early and done this with the tip of the knife........

can you guess who it is...lol

today's


going to rework this one a little tomorrow....

Posted by: ty4orce Oct 17 2012, 05:37 PM

need to build the texture up need to add more depth and color ...that is one of the biggest peeves I have with decoys are there size the trick is to keep applying the paint....
On a side note gotta really dig all these Rockers coming out with new stuff ZZ Top,Mick and the boy's ,Kiss...incredible but as they say it runs in the blood...

Posted by: ty4orce Oct 19 2012, 02:09 PM

I would love to have one for my Edgerrin James collection. Art is something I really don't have much of for him. I would join in the contest if you get a few others. smile.gif

Nice work.
In the first post the one on the right looks like a photograph at first glance. The "rub out" technique one is also very cool, reminds me of those portraits that are in the old school suspense/horror movies. Not the ones with the eyes that follow you but the ones where someone visiting the old haunted mansion looks exactly like the person in the 200 year old portrait.

Posted by: aceecards Oct 20 2012, 02:13 PM

I believe a give away would be in order!

being a beatles, zep and floyd fan of course I would pick one of those.

Thoughts and comments always welcomed....

Posted by: edgerrin32 Oct 23 2012, 08:25 PM

These have me thinking, what if you did like a tree scene? Like a tree on the far left or right and all the leaves on the ground. Kinda a fall look. I think it would be cool. And I know its got to be kinda hard to do a big scene on a little card size thing. But its a simple idea, but would be cool. Kinda like you do the smeary look. Just a idea lol. smile.gif

Posted by: ty4orce Oct 24 2012, 06:31 PM


@ edge..........I made plenty of scene paintings throughout the years....

Posted by: aceecards Oct 24 2012, 09:15 PM

Thoughts and comments always welcomed.....would really like to hear comments on what you see in this painting...I know what I see and want to see how obvious it is...or isn't....

Posted by: aceecards Oct 29 2012, 04:25 PM

knopfler was here and i missed him! sad.gif

Posted by: ty4orce Nov 3 2012, 12:29 PM

Well did not get any responses for that last painting ..if you like really look into the painting and you will see the dog,the person pouring a cup of coffee on my head ,the lone picnic...and many more but enough with that.....
My niece got me to make her another said it was her favorite song...

was real tough to get any detail in especially with the bumpy gesso...

messed up song reason for all the gesso as an artist we have to render accordingly.....lol...@ ace you missed a great show when you missed that show he can really play...

Posted by: aceecards Nov 3 2012, 02:27 PM
