Deadend - street scene, by Rourke on Aug 10, 2008 19:14:09 GMT 1, Hi all, done 2 paintings at the weekend, arent entirly happy with 1 of them but thought I would show, and see what you think.
Trying to get into the painting lark after a massive layoff, Hopefully wnat to develop my style more, and the only way I can do that is to get stuck in.
I did them on old bits of cardboard in Acrylic an Spraypaint.
Let us know what you think, Cheers
Title: Deadend (2008)
Sorry deleted some of the wording and loose women pic. Cos am going to be adding more to the deadend picture

Reminds me of a theme that used to be done by a guy from Richmond, North Yorks, but I've had a mental block with his name. He used to paint pit villages and old industrial scenes, really gritty and dark. I'll try and dig out an example.

Deadend - street scene, by Rourke on Aug 10, 2008 22:47:55 GMT 1, quite like that street scene rourke, something a bit different for you?
Cheers mate, there are going to be more images like that coming up. Deadend (street scene) is the one I prefer out of the two. the girl is the one i did today, I went in this morning and was going to do an abstract, wanted to try and really loosen up alot. Decided to do the loose women, but when I got to the head, I was drawn back into to doing my detail. Will be doing more this week, gonna keep trying to loosen up, hopefully I will get there in the end.

Deadend - street scene, by Danny O'Connor on Aug 13, 2008 1:01:12 GMT 1, This is something a little different from you Rourke, yet still retains your unique style, I like it!
Have to agree with CG it reminds me of Lowry too (which is a good thing IMO)

Deadend - street scene, by onemandown72 on Aug 13, 2008 22:11:46 GMT 1, There is also an artist who paints in photo realist scenes in enamel paints. Can't for the life of me remeber his name. Was part of the Tate triennial in 2004 and his work is brilliant, and some amazing detail in basic urban landscapes And like what you're doing!

Or have i totally got my wires crossed?
