After Brothers Hildebrandt (Lord of the Rings). An ancient tree can have much in keeping with what lies within each of us. We move through our concrete world, confident that our own life force guides us from within-- but perhaps it is from without. #art #painting #vancouverart #blueskyart #fineart

This one was super fun, and fast, completed during the Fuse & Form open house last Friday. 9x12 oil on panel... better in high res, also I'm playing with a new photo montage app to better show the process. #art #painting #oilpainting #traditionalart #noai #handmadeart

New work 16x20 oil on panel. Had to redo the background a bit, turns out planning is sometimes good. Not sure the title-- Dropped Call, or ? #art #painting #oilpainting

One more of these carts, I can't get enough of them. Hot food on the street! Who would have thought. This is in Oaxaca, MX. 4x6 oil on panel. #art #artist #painting #oilpainting

I imagine the woman holding the lemon is figuring out dinner. In the Mercado de La Mercedes in CDMX (or nearby... we got a bit lost!) 7x9 oil on panel #art #oilpainting

Another cart this one from CDMX, this guy was headed to the park with pastries in back and beverages in front. 4x6 oil on panel. #art #oilpainting

Another in a series of food carts I saw while in Oaxaca. Oil on board, 4x6 inches

Another cart from Oaxaca, oil 4x6 board...

I posted this in the BS trending art feed, but it didn't show up in my own list of past posts(?) Still figuring out how this all works... Mouse with a Message 10x10 oil on canvas.

I'm also working on a bunch of these little 4x6 carts...

Mexi-Memories... 4x6 oil on board.

This one was fun, photo I took on a Seattle bus, then I superimposed the girl from Zorn's Omnibus.

Merry Happy. And happy Mary.

Progress

Entering the ugly stage...

Wow, I did it! After a year of attacking windmills and barking at trees and various failures to launch, I'm very happy to have a new website. A good looking site that is easy to update, has all of my new work, plus the best of the old. And artcars... 😀 TL;DR --> here: www.dennisjbrandt.com

Cannot believe what difference a little paint makes. Also I sanded the floor enough to kill my rented belt sander (oops).

A good start I think...
