I started an acrylic wash sketch for a new painting. I ended up liking the way the sketch was coming along and figured I'd "kill" it if I painted over it. So I decided the sketch should be the finished piece on this one.
"This Is What It Feels Like" 14" X 18" Acrylic on Canvas
I've been working on a 2008 calendar and have been spending a lot of time on the computer. It was such a breath of fresh air to slap paint onto canvas and work a little looser. I look forward to doing more paintings in the next few weeks, a good break from all the digital stuff I've been dabbling in lately.
This is a new painting I just completed a few days ago. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Hope to have a few more new pieces done in the next few weeks. I have a show coming up in Long Beach on Aug. 3rd @ Nino's Martini Room, then on the 18th I will be in a group show at Syren's in San Clemente.
My name is Tom Vadakan, and I run Urbancowfolks Studio. I'm just a guy trying to live a good life in this big but small world. I live life doing the things I love to do, and spending the time with people I love.
I'm truly humbled and grateful to have my health, a wonderful family, awesome friends, and stoked to have had art shows in SF, LA, & NY. I hope the blessings continue.
